A prophet approached King Ahab of Israel and said: This is what Jehovah says: 'Have you seen this large army? I will hand it over to you today. Then you will know that I am Jehovah.'

Jehovah, they have killed your prophets, and torn down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life. (1 Kings 19:14, 18)
