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

1 Kings 19:3. And when he saw that, he arose and went for his life That is, to save his life: whereby may be intimated, that he did not flee from Jezreel by the hand or direction of the Lord, by which he had come thither; but because of his own fear and apprehension of danger. One would have expected, after such a public and sensible manifestation of the glory of God, and such a clear decision of the controversy depending between him and Baal, to the honour of Elijah, the confusion of... 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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Kings 19:1

THE EXTREME DISCOURAGEMENT AND DEPRESSION OF ELIJAH"And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time. And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there. But he himself went a day's journey... 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

1 Kings 19:3-4. And when he saw that, he arose, &c.— It is very doubtful, whether juniper-tree be the proper rendering of the original word רתם rothem. Parkhurst says, that it signifies the broom or birch-tree, so called from its tenacity or toughness, which was so great that its twigs served for cords. See Plin. Nat. Hist. lib. 24: cap. 9. The Arabians, and from them the Spaniards, still retain the name retama, for the birch-tree. See Job 30:4 and Scheuchzer. It must be acknowledged, that... read more

3. he arose, and went for his life—He entered Jezreel full of hope. But a message from the incensed and hard-hearted queen, vowing speedy vengeance for her slaughtered priests, dispelled all his bright visions of the future. It is probable, however, that in the present temper of the people, even she would not have dared to lay violent hands on the Lord's servant, and purposely threatened him because she could do no more. The threat produced the intended effect, for his faith suddenly failed... read more
