Exegesis
The Hiphil infinitives le-hazkir {לְהַזְכִּיר | lə·haz·kîr} and u-le-hamit {וּלְהָמִית | wə·lə·hā·mîṯ} form purpose clauses that heighten the accusation by linking the reminder of sin to the threat against her son.
In context — 1 Kings 17:18
And she said to Elijah, “What is there between me and you, man of God ? Have you come to remind me of my iniquity and to put my son to death?”
