1 Kings 21:9 [1] The point of the fast was to display grief and humility toward God over a grave sin that had been committed, usually when famine or another disaster had occurred as judgment from God for the sin. So Jezebel's plot not only included the judicial murder of an innocent man; it was a direct affront and challenge to God.

1 Kings 21:10 [2] Lit blessed. This word is used here and in v 13 as a euphemism referring to cursing, to avoid actually uttering a curse against God, even when it is placed in the mouth of someone else.
