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 — Jezebel's threat against Elijah shows her fury and her determination to kill him. The phrase uses the curse formula "may the gods do to me and more if..." which invokes divine judgment upon herself if she fails. Her threat is specific: tomorrow at this time Elijah will be dead.
