1 Kings 19:2-4

2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “ ^aSo may the gods do to me and more so, if by about this time tomorrow I do not make your ^{▼▼Lit soul}life like the ^{▼▼Lit soul}life of one of them.” 3 And he ^{▼▼Reading of many mss; MT may read saw}was afraid, and got up and ran for his ^{▼▼Lit soul}life and came to ^fBeersheba, which belongs to Judah; and he left his servant there. 4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree; and ^ghe asked for himself to die, and said, “Enough! Now, Lord, take my ^{▼▼Lit soul}life, for I am no better than my fathers.”
