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.

Commentary on 1 Kings 19:14

Theological / Devotional

Very jealous. The answer is in the same words as before, but with a different spirit. The prophet is now calm and subdued. He is stating the facts, but he no longer holds the same attitude toward them. Men may seek his life, but he is willing now to go on with his work for God. It was a new Elijah who would go forth, not as fire or storm to produce great convulsions to be witnessed by multitudes of men, but in a more quiet manner, speaking to individuals here and there, to produce lasting results in the hearts and lives of men.
