Lalu perempuan itu berkata kepada Elia, “Apa urusanku denganmu, hai abdi Allah? Engkau datang kepadaku untuk mengungkit kesalahanku dan untuk membunuh anakku!”
Rashi
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.
