“Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
Or do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah — how he appealed to God against Israel? — Paul reaches back to 1 Kings 19:10 (also 19:14), Elijah's complaint that Israel has forsaken the covenant and killed the prophets. The apostle locates the pattern of apparent wholesale rejection in Israel's own scriptures, legitimizing his question.
