Contextual Overview

1 Ahab told Jezebel everything that Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. 2 So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, "May the gods punish me and do so severely if I don't make your life like the life of one of them by this time tomorrow!" 3 Then Elijah became afraid and immediately ran for his life. When he came to Beer-sheba that belonged to Judah, he left his servant there, 4 but he went on a day's journey into the wilderness. He sat down under a broom tree and prayed that he might die. He said, "I have had enough! Lord , take my life, for I'm no better than my fathers." 5 Then he lay down and slept under the broom tree. Suddenly, an angel touched him. The angel told him, "Get up and eat." 6 Then he looked, and there at his head was a loaf of bread baked over hot stones, and a jug of water. So he ate and drank and lay down again. 7 Then the angel of the Lord returned for a second time and touched him. He said, "Get up and eat, or the journey will be too much for you." 8 So he got up, ate, and drank. Then on the strength from that food, he walked 40 days and 40 nights to Horeb, 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.
