1 Ora, Acabe fez saber a Jezabel tudo quanto Elias havia feito, e como matara � espada todos os profetas.

1 Reis 19:1 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 19:1

And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done
What miracles he had wrought, how that not only fire came down from heaven, and consumed the sacrifice, but even the stones and dust of the altar, and licked up great quantities of water in the trench around it; and that it was at his prayer that rain came down from heaven in such abundance, of which she was sensible; by all which he got the people on his side, so that it was not in his power to seize him and slay him; and this he said to clear himself, and make her easy:

and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword;
the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal he had gathered to Carmel; the Targum calls them false prophets, but Ahab would scarcely use that epithet to Jezebel; as for the four hundred prophets of the grove, they were not present, and so not included. Jezebel knew they were safe, being with her, she not suffering them to go to Carmel.

1 Reis 19:1 In-Context

1 Ora, Acabe fez saber a Jezabel tudo quanto Elias havia feito, e como matara � espada todos os profetas.

2 Então Jezabel mandou um mensageiro a Elias, a dizer-lhe: Assim me façam os deuses, e outro tanto, se até amanhã a estas horas eu não fizer a tua vida como a de um deles.

3 Quando ele viu isto, levantou-se e, para escapar com vida, se foi. E chegando a Berseba, que pertence a Judá, deixou ali o seu moço.

4 Ele, porém, entrou pelo deserto caminho de um dia, e foi sentar-se debaixo de um zimbro; e pediu para si a morte, dizendo: Já basta, ó Senhor; toma agora a minha vida, pois não sou melhor do que meus pais.

5 E deitando-se debaixo do zimbro, dormiu; e eis que um anjo o tocou, e lhe disse: Levanta-te e come.
