1 Kings 19:14

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.

And he said {H559}, I have been very {H7065} jealous {H7065} for the LORD {H3068} God {H430} of hosts {H6635}: because the children {H1121} of Israel {H3478} have forsaken {H5800} thy covenant {H1285}, thrown down {H2040} thine altars {H4196}, and slain {H2026} thy prophets {H5030} with the sword {H2719}; and I, even I only, am left {H3498}; and they seek {H1245} my life {H5315}, to take it away {H3947}.

He answered, "I have been very zealous for ADONAI the God of armies; because the people of Isra'el have abandoned your covenant, broken down your altars and killed your prophets with the sword. Now I'm the only one left, and they're after me to kill me too."

“I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of Hosts,” he replied, “but the Israelites have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well.”

And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah, the God of hosts; for 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.
