KJV - 1 Kings 19:10

And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD 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.

He said, "I've been very jealous for God because the people of Israel have abandoned their agreement, destroyed your altars, and killed your prophets. Only I am left now, and they want to kill me too."
