1 Kings 19:2

Jezebel sent a messenger The queen could not restrain herself in her rage. She cannot make arrangements for seizing Elijah at once, but lets him know that she is resolved to do so. The LXX. has no word for -a messenger," but enlarges the sentence by the words -If thou art Elijah, and I Jezebel, so let God &c." The message intimates that if he can be found he will be put to death on the morrow.
