Exegesis
The relative-infinitive complex asher-asiti {אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂ֔יתִי | ă-šer-ʿā-sîˈ-tî} links the speaker’s action to the temporal clause introduced by the infinitive construct ba-harog {בַּהֲרֹ֣ג | bă-hă-rōg} ‘when killing’, which assigns agency to Izevel {אִיזֶבֶל | ʾî-zə-vél}.
In context — 1 Kings 18:13
Has it not been told to my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of the LORD ? I hid one hundred of the LORD’s prophets , fifty in the cave, and I provided them with bread and water.
