The prophet Elijah fled for his life from a furious and vengeful Jezebel after he had killed 450 of her prophets:-

1Ki 16:29-33 KJV ... Ahab the son of Omri reigned over [ie the northern kingdom of] Israel in Samaria twenty and two years. (v.30) And Ahab ... did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that werebefore him. (v.31) And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him. (v.32) And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. (v.33) And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.

1Ki 18:19-21 KJV Now therefore send, andgather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table. (v.20) So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel. (v.21) And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD beGod, follow him: but if Baal, thenfollow him. And the people answered him not a word.

1Ki 18:36-40 KJV And it came to pass at the time ofthe offering of the eveningsacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou artGod in Israel, and thatI amthy servant, and thatI have done all these things at thy word. (v.37) Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou artthe LORD God, and thatthou hast turned their heart back again. (v.38) Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that wasin the trench. (v.39) And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he isthe God; the LORD, he isthe God. (v.40) And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.

1Ki 19:1-3 KJV And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. (v.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. (v.3) And when he [Elijah] saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongethto [ie the southern kingdom of] Judah , and left his servant there.
