Elijah was being hunted by Jezebel.
- 1 Kings 19:1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
- 1 Kings 19:2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.
The Pharisees and scribes, at the time of Jesus, had a dislike for anyone that encroached onto their turf. Apparently their fathers also.
"If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets" (Matthew 23:30).
Hypocrites no different from their fathers.

The book of Hebrews is written primarily to Jewish converts….
Hebrews 11:
…..the prophets: 33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. 35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: 36 and others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment(Jeremiah): 37 they were stoned, they were sawn asunder(Isaiah), were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; 38 (of whom the world was not worthy
they wandered in deserts(Elijah), and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
The irony is, that to this day, people are taking the Book of Isaiah and dividing it into two(or three).
