And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
Y él respondió: 'He sentido gran celo por el SEÑOR Dios Todopoderoso, porque los israelitas han abandonado tu pacto, han derribado tus altares y han matado a tus profetas a espada. Solo yo he quedado, y ahora también buscan quitarme la vida.'
Elías expresó su dolor por ser el único profeta que quedaba fiel a Dios mientras Israel había abandonado su pacto.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the 9th century BC, the prophet Elijah served in the Northern Kingdom of Israel during the reign of the wicked King Ahab and his wife Jezebel, who actively promoted the worship of the pagan god Baal and persecuted followers of the Lord. After Elijah's dramatic victory on Mount Carmel, where he demonstrated God's supremacy by calling down fire from heaven, Jezebel vowed to kill him, forcing him to flee into the wilderness in exhaustion and fear. There, in a moment of deep despair, Elijah expressed to God his belief that he was the only faithful prophet left, as the people had abandoned the covenant, destroyed altars, and killed other prophets.
