Haydock's commentary
I have. All power comes from God, though he frequently disapproves of the means by which people obtain it. (Haydock)
Baasa was a traitorous usurper.
My people. Many had abandoned the Lord: (Haydock) yet he still regards Israel as his people, sending prophets to reclaim them, and preserving many from bending the knee before Baal.
