Commentaire sur Rois 1 17:18

וַתֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אֶל־אֵ֣לִיָּ֔הוּ מַה־לִּ֥י וָלָ֖ךְ אִ֣ישׁ הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים בָּ֧אתָ אֵלַ֛י לְהַזְכִּ֥יר אֶת־עֲוֺנִ֖י וּלְהָמִ֥ית אֶת־בְּנִֽי׃

La mère dit à Élie: "Qu’avons-nous à démêler ensemble, homme de Dieu? Tu es venu chez moi pour réveiller le souvenir de mes fautes et causer la mort de mon fils!"

Rashi on I Kings

To cause my sins to be remembered. Before you came, they would weigh my deeds and the deeds of my city, and I was worthy of a miracle. But since you came here, I am not reckoned with as [being worthy of] anything and my righteousness is not noticeable.12Before you came I was no worse than my neighbors, but compared to you I am a sinner.—Ralbag 13Alternatively, she said that her sins were being remembered because she had not properly served Eliyahu, and that is why her son died.—Radak (Other texts: Remembered) And similarly, concerning Lot it states, “I cannot escape to the mountain,”14Bereishis 19:19. [i.e., referring] to Avrohom, for my merit will not be remembered next to his.15Bereishis Rabboh 50:11.
