Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Kings 19:2

1 Kings 19:2. Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah She gives him notice of her designs beforehand; partly from her high and haughty spirit, as scorning to kill him secretly; partly out of impatience till she had given vent to her rage; and partly from God’s gracious and overruling providence, that hereby Elijah might have an opportunity of escaping. This shows the great folly of outrageous anger; which transported her unthinkingly, but effectually, to counteract and obstruct her own... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 19:1-21

God reassures Elijah (19:1-21)When Jezebel heard that Elijah had killed her prophets, she threatened to do the same to him. She still had great power over the people, who, despite Elijah’s victory at Mt Carmel, soon returned to their idolatrous ways (19:1-2; cf. v. 10). Elijah fled south through the barren regions of Judah where, overcome with despair, he wanted only to die. But God sustained him, enabling him to keep moving south till he reached Mt Sinai, the place where God had made his... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Kings 19:2

1 Kings 19:2. Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah— This certainly was the effect of Jezebel's blind rage, and not of any prudence in her; for prudence would have advised her to conceal her resentment till she had been ready to put her designs in execution: whereas this sending him word was giving him notice of his danger, and admonishing him to avoid it: but since he had had the confidence to come where she was, she might think, perhaps, that he was as courageous as she was furious; that upon... read more

Elijah’s disillusionment 19:1-8Elijah was surprised that the revival he had just witnessed was not more effective in eliminating Baal worship. Apparently Jezebel’s threat drove the lessons of God’s power and provision that he had been learning at Cherith, Zarephath, and Carmel out of his memory."Probably Elijah had played into Jezebel’s hand. Had she really wanted Elijah dead, she surely would have seized him without warning and slain him. What she desired was that Elijah and his God be... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 19:1-21

Elijah at Horeb2. Then Jezebel sent, etc.] Her religious feelings as a votary of Baal and her dignity as the queen had both been outraged by the prophet, and she at once sought revenge.3. And when he saw that, etc.] In men of impetuous disposition displays of fiery courage often alternate with moods of despondency. Elijah’s character resembled that of St. Peter, who first struck a blow in defence of his Master and then denied Him (John 18:10, John 18:15).Beer-sheba] within the territory of the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Kings 19:1-2

(1, 2) There is a certain grandeur of fearlessness and ruthlessness in the message of Jezebel, which marks her character throughout, and places it in striking contrast with the vacillating impressibility of Ahab, whom she treats with natural scorn. (See 21:7.) Ahab, as before, remains passive; he has no courage, perhaps no wish, to attack Elijah, before whom he had quailed; but he cares not, or dares not, to restrain Jezebel. She disdains to strike secretly and without warning: in fact, her... read more

The Holy Eucharist 1 Kings 19:4-8 God has given us the blessed Sacrament to be to us the Sacrament in which He will give to us continually the grace of perseverance. I. The Sacrament of Perseverance.

The Bread of Life. In this Holy Eucharist we not only plead before God the sacrifice, but we feed upon... read more

ELIJAH’S FLIGHT1 Kings 19:1-4"A still small voice comes through the wild, Like a father consoling his fretful child, Which banisheth bitterness, wrath and fear, Saying, ‘Man is distant, but God is near."’- TEMPLETHE misgiving which, joined to his ascetic dislike of cities, made Elijah stop his swift race at the entrance of Jezreel was more than justified. Ahab’s narrative of the splendid contest at Carmel produced no effect upon Jezebel whatever, and we can imagine the bitter objurgations which... read more

3. Elijah in the Wilderness and upon Mount Horeb CHAPTER 19 1. Elijah’s flight and despondency (1 Kings 19:1-8 ) 2. Upon Mount Horeb (1 Kings 19:9-18 ) 3. Elisha called (1 Kings 19:10-21 ) Elijah perhaps stopped at the very door of the palace where wicked Jezebel dwelt. He would remain with Ahab to the very last before he went in to face the queen. Should not Elijah have remained and gone even before Jezebel to bear his testimony? Instead he becomes terrified of wicked Jezebel. Had he... read more
