1 Kings 19:2-4

2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, ^a“So may the gods do to me and even more, if I do not make your ^{▼▼ Lit soul}life as the ^{▼▼ Lit soul}life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.” 3 And he ^{▼▼ Reading of many mss; Heb text may read saw}was afraid and arose and ran for his ^{▼▼ Lit soul}life and came to ^fBeersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. 4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a ^{▼▼ Or broom-tree}juniper tree; and ^hhe requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is enough; now, O Lord, take my ^{▼▼ Lit soul}life, for I am not better than my fathers.”
