1 Kings 19:1 meaning
The intense narrative surrounding Elijah's flight stems from the aftermath of his decisive confrontation with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. Elijah, having witnessed God’s power displayed in overwhelming fashion, expected a complete return to Yahweh. Instead, the ruthless Queen Jezebel proclaimed a death sentence against him, revealing her relentless devotion to the Baal cult. This notice fueled Elijah’s sudden fear and despair, compelling him to flee to Beer-sheba, and ultimately further into the wilderness.
