‏ Romans 11:4

4 But what is the Divine response to him? “I have retained for myself seven thousand men, who have not bent their knees before Baal.” ^{▼▼11:4 Seven thousand, etc: This is very ill alleged by some, against the perpetual visibility of the church of Christ; the more, because however the number of the faithful might be abridged by the persecution of Jezabel in the kingdom of the ten tribes, the church was at the same time in a most flourishing condition (under Asa and Josaphat) in the kingdom of Judah.(Challoner)}
