Context — Elijah Flees from Jezebel
1Now Ahab told Jezebel everything that Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
2So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “May the gods deal with me, and ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I have not made your life like the lives of those you killed!” 3And Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there,Cross References

|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 Kings 18:40 | Then Elijah ordered them, “Seize the prophets of Baal! Do not let a single one escape.” So they seized them, and Elijah brought them down to the Kishon Valley and slaughtered them there. |
| 2 | 1 Kings 21:25 | (Surely there was never one like Ahab, who sold himself to do evil in the sight of the LORD, incited by his wife Jezebel. |
| 3 | 1 Kings 21:5–7 | Soon his wife Jezebel came in and asked, “Why are you so sullen that you refuse to eat?” Ahab answered, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and told him, ‘Give me your vineyard for silver, or if you wish, I will give you another vineyard in its place.’ And he replied, ‘I will not give you my vineyard!’” But his wife Jezebel said to him, “Do you not reign over Israel? Get up, eat some food, and be cheerful, for I will get you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.” |
| 4 | 1 Kings 16:31 | And as if it were not enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, he even married Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and he then proceeded to serve and worship Baal. |
1 Kings 19:1 Summary
This verse tells us that Ahab told his wife Jezebel everything the prophet Elijah had done, including killing the prophets of Baal. Ahab was likely trying to get Jezebel on his side, but this ultimately led to more trouble for Elijah. We can learn from this that involving others in our conflicts can be dangerous, and it's often better to trust in God's protection and provision, as promised in Psalm 23:4. By prioritizing God's will over the approval of others, we can avoid unnecessary conflict and danger, and instead follow God's path for our lives, as taught in Proverbs 3:5-6.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Ahab tell Jezebel everything Elijah had done?
Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done because he was likely trying to garner her support and sympathy, as seen in 1 Kings 19:1, and as warned against in Proverbs 22:24-25, which advises against befriending those with bad tempers.
What was Jezebel's role in the kingdom of Israel?
Jezebel was the queen of Israel, married to King Ahab, and she played a significant role in promoting idolatry in Israel, as mentioned in 1 Kings 16:31 and 1 Kings 21:25-26, which contrasts with the worship of the one true God in Exodus 20:3-5.
How did Elijah's actions affect Ahab and Jezebel?
Elijah's actions, particularly the execution of the prophets of Baal, put him at odds with Ahab and Jezebel, who promoted the worship of Baal, as seen in 1 Kings 18:40, and this led to Jezebel's vow to kill Elijah in 1 Kings 19:2.
What can we learn from Ahab's decision to inform Jezebel about Elijah's actions?
Ahab's decision to inform Jezebel about Elijah's actions teaches us about the dangers of involving others in our conflicts, especially when those others have a history of wickedness, as seen in 1 Kings 21:1-16, and the importance of seeking wise counsel, as advised in Proverbs 11:14.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways we try to involve others in our conflicts, and how can we learn from Ahab's mistake?
- How can we balance standing up for what is right, like Elijah did, with avoiding unnecessary conflict and danger?
- What role does fear play in our decision-making, and how can we, like Elijah, trust in God's protection and provision even in the face of danger, as promised in Psalm 23:4 and Isaiah 41:10?
- In what ways do we, like Ahab and Jezebel, sometimes prioritize the approval of others over the will of God, and how can we realign our priorities with God's word, as taught in Romans 12:2 and Galatians 1:10?
Gill's Exposition on 1 Kings 19:1
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 Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Kings 19:1
1 KINGS CHAPTER 19 Elijah, threatened by Jezebel, fleeth to Beer-sheba; is comforted by an angel, . At Mount Horeb, complaining to God, he is strengthened by a special revelation, ; is sent to anoint Hazael, Jehu, and Elisha, . Elisha followeth Elijah, . Ahab told Jezebel this for his vindication, and her satisfaction. All the prophets, to wit, of Baal; not of the groves, who were not present, as may be gathered from ,22 22:6.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Kings 19:1
1 Kings 19:1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.Ver. 1. And Ahab told Jezebel] As being in no small care how to satisfy this imperious whorish woman, how to stop the mouth of this hen that crowed so loud at court, and ruled all.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Kings 19:1
(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 message seems intended to give the opportunity for a flight, which might degrade Elijah in the eyes of the people. We note that the prophet (see 1 Kings 18:46) had not ventured to enter Jezreel till he should know how his deadly foe would receive the news of the great day at Carmel.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Kings 19:1
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. Ahab told Jezebel] Probably with no evil design against Elijah.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Kings 19:1
Chap. 1 Kings 19:1-8. Elijah’s flight to Horeb (Not in Chronicles) 1. And Ahab told Jezebel] The LXX. adds ‘his wife.’ and withal how] The construction in the original is here irregular. The words rendered ‘withal’ are omitted in nearly all the Versions. The expression translated ‘withal how’ is exactly the same as that which is rendered ‘all that’ in the previous clause, and does not suit the verb which follows. But it is not easy to explain the repetition with two different verbs, and no doubt the English translation gives the sense which was intended. He told his wife in general ‘all that’ Elijah had done and specially ‘all, how’ he had slain, &c.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Kings 19:1
ELIJAH’S FLIGHT TO HOREB, 1 Kings 19:1-18. 1. Ahab told Jezebel — The king was probably drawn towards Elijah in sympathy, and believed him to be a holy man of God.
