‏ 1 Kings 19:4

19:4  a Though technically a shrub, the broom tree can reach a height of ten feet. Its leaves are small, but it provides adequate shade for a weary traveler in the wilderness. Like Jonah (Jon 4:3  b), Elijah had successfully carried out his commission, but he felt a sense of defeat with the results.

• no better: God’s refugee prophet felt that he had accomplished little and would be better off dead.
