Root and etymology
ק־נ־א
“to be zealous”
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.”
