Contextual Overview

1Now Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets [of Baal] with the sword.2Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, "So may the gods do to me, and even more, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like the life of one of them." 3And Elijah was afraid and arose and ran for his life, and he came to Beersheba which belongs to Judah, and he left his servant there. 4But he himself traveled a day's journey into the wilderness, and he came and sat down under a juniper tree and asked [God] that he might die. He said, "It is enough; now, O LORD, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers." 5He lay down and slept under the juniper tree, and behold, an angel touched him and said to him, "Get up and eat." 6He looked, and by his head there was a bread cake baked on hot coal, and a pitcher of water. So he ate and drank and lay down again. 7Then the angel of the LORD came again a second time and touched him and said, "Get up, and eat, for the journey is too long for you [without adequate sustenance]." 8So he got up and ate and drank, and with the strength of that food he traveled forty days and nights to Horeb (Sinai), the mountain of God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XIX

Ahab tells Jezebel what Elijah had done; she is enraged, and

threatens to take away his life, 1, 2.

He leaves Jezreel, and comes to Beer-sheba, and thence to the

wilderness, where he is fed and encouraged by an angel, 3-9.

His complaint and the vision by which God instructs him, 10-14.

He is sent to Damascus, in order to anoint Hazael king over

Syria, and Jehu king over Israel, 15-18.

He meets with Elisha, who becomes his servant, 19-21.

NOTES ON CHAP. XIX

Verse 1 Kings 19:1. Ahab told Jezebel — Probably with no evil design against Elijah.
