Exegesis
Elijah’s isolation is marked by the Nifal vaivater {וָאִוָּתֵר | wā-’î-wa-tēr}, reinforced by ani {אֲנִי | ’ănî} and levadi {לְבַדִּי | lə-vaḏ-dî}.
In context — 1 Kings 19:10
And he said, “I have been very zealous for the LORD God of hosts , for the sons of Israel have forsaken your covenant ; they have torn down your altars, slain your prophets with the sword; and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it.”
