The idiom "The word of Yahweh came to," is used to introduce a special message from God. See how you translated this in [1 Kings 6:11](../06/11.md). Alternate translation: "Yahweh gave a message to him. He said, 'What" or "Yahweh spoke this message to him: 'What" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])

Yahweh asks this question to rebuke Elijah and to remind him of his duty. Alternate translation: "This is not where you should be, Elijah." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
