God speaks these words to Elijah at Horeb, after the prophet has fled Jezebel and complained that he alone remains faithful. The verse is part of God's answer: Elijah is to anoint Hazael, Jehu and Elisha, and these three will carry out judgment on Israel's idolatry in sequence, each catching those who escape the one before.
