1 Reyes 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 Reyes 19:1 In-Context

1 Acab le contó a Jezabel todo lo que Elías había hecho, y cómo había matado a todos los profetas a filo de espada.

2 Entonces Jezabel envió un mensajero a Elías para decirle: «¡Que los dioses me castiguen sin piedad si mañana a esta hora no te he quitado la vida como tú se la quitaste a ellos!»

3 Elías se asustó y huyó para ponerse a salvo. Cuando llegó a Berseba de Judá, dejó allí a su criado

4 y caminó todo un día por el desierto. Llegó adonde había un arbusto, y se sentó a su sombra con ganas de morirse. «¡Estoy harto, SEÑOR! —protestó—. Quítame la vida, pues no soy mejor que mis antepasados».

5 Luego se acostó debajo del arbusto y se quedó dormido.De repente, un ángel lo tocó y le dijo: «Levántate y come».
