Meaning
The story points at the 40 days Israel spent in the wilderness. It then mentions 7000 "set apart" for God himself. No doubt this was the total in Israel at the time but the literary device suggests the Levites, the "set apart" ones of Israel itself.
The report runs out 7000 days from the end of the day-for-a-year day at the end of the 40 days in the wilderness. This date indicates something to do with Levites and is confirmed by the 12 yoke of Oxen, the next set of features in 1 Kings 19. This is 24 total oxen and is the number of Levite elders, broken down 8 and 16, and it identifies the tribe again.
This is pointing at the resurrection dates for the tribe of Levi and serves to confirm the placement of the resurrection dates in the overall time line.
