Który odpowiedział; Gorliwiem się zastawiał o Pana, Boga zastępów; albowiem synowie Izraelscy opuścili przymierze twoje, ołtarze twoje zburzyli, i proroki twoje mieczem pomordowali, a zostałem ja sam, i szukają duszy mojej, aby mi ją odjęli.

Biblia Brzeska (1563)
Który odpowiedział: Chutliwiem się zastawował o Pana, Boga zastępów, abowiem synowie izraelscy złamali przymierze twoje, ołtarze twe popsowali, a proroki twoje pomordowali mieczem, tylko żem ja sam został i to szukają tego, jakoby mogli odjąć zdrowie moje.
Nowe Przymierze Zaremba
Żarliwie obstawałem przy PANU, Bogu Zastępów - odpowiedział - dlatego, że Izraelici porzucili przymierze z Tobą. Poburzyli Twoje ołtarze, wybili mieczem Twoich proroków i zostałem ja sam, ale mnie także chcą pozbawić życia.
Nowa Biblia Gdańska (2012)
Więc odpowiedział: Żarliwie się wstawiałem za WIEKUISTYM, Bogiem Zastępów; bowiem synowie Israela opuścili Twoje przymierze, Twoje ołtarze zburzyli, Twoich proroków pomordowali, i tylko ja jeden zostałem; lecz czyhają i na moje życie, by je odebrać.
Biblia Tysiąclecia
Który odpowiedział; Gorliwiem się zastawiał o Pana, Boga zastępów; albowiem synowie Izraelscy opuścili przymierze twoje, ołtarze twoje zburzyli, i proroki twoje mieczem pomordowali, a zostałem ja sam, i szukają duszy mojej, aby mi ją odjęli.
Uwspółcześniona Biblia Gdańska
Odpowiedział: Byłem bardzo gorliwy względem PANA, Boga zastępów. Synowie Izraela bowiem porzucili twoje przymierze, zburzyli twoje ołtarze i pomordowali mieczem twoich proroków. Ja sam tylko pozostałem i szukają mojej duszy, aby mi ją odebrać.
Biblia Warszawska
A on odpowiedział: Gorliwie stawałem w obronie Pana, Boga Zastępów, gdyż synowie izraelscy porzucili przymierze z tobą, poburzyli twoje ołtarze, a twoich proroków wybili mieczem. Pozostałem tylko ja sam, lecz i tak nastają na moje życie, aby mi je odebrać.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he said, I have been jealous for the Lord God of hosts,.... Through zeal for the glory of God he had slain four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, and this had stirred up the malice and revenge of Jezebel against him, who sought his life, and which had obliged him to flee, and come to this place for shelter; this is the first part of his answer, others follow:

for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant; the law, especially the two first commandments delivered in this very place; and therefore he could hope for no protection from them, but was forced to leave his country:

thrown down thy altars: which had been built in times past for the worship of God, to sacrifice thereon to him, but were now demolished, that those that would not bow the knee to Baal, and could not go to Jerusalem, might make no use of them:

and slain thy prophets with the sword; which was done by Jezebel, the Israelites conniving at it, and consenting to it, and not daring to oppose her; slain all she had knowledge of, or even were known by the prophet: hence it follows,

and I, [even] I only am left, and they seek my life to take it away: all this Elijah said, as it seems, not only to excuse himself for fleeing, and taking up his abode where he was, but to stir up the indignation of God against Israel for their idolatries and murders, and to put him upon inflicting his judgments on them for the same.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I, even I only, am left - The same statement as in 1 Kings 18:22, but the sense is different. There Elijah merely said that he alone remained to execute the prophet’s office, which was true; here he implies that he is the only prophet left alive, whereas a hundred had been saved by Obadiah 1 Kings 18:4.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 19:10. I have been very jealous for the Lord — The picture which he draws here of apostate Israel is very affecting:-

1. They have forsaken thy covenant — They have now cleaved to and worshipped other gods.

2. Thrown down thine altars — Endeavoured, as much as they possibly could, to abolish thy worship, and destroy its remembrance from the land.

3. And slain thy prophets — That there might be none to reprove their iniquity, or teach the truth; so that the restoration of the true worship might be impossible.

4. I only, am left — They have succeeded in destroying all the rest of the prophets, and they are determined not to rest till they slay me.
