1 Kings 19:1-5

Elijah Flees Jezebel

1 Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how ^ahe had killed all the prophets with the sword. 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, ^b“So may the gods do to me and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by this time tomorrow.” 3 Then he was afraid, and he arose and ran for his life and came to ^cBeersheba, 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 broom tree. ^dAnd he asked that he might die, saying, “It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.” 5 And he lay down and slept under a broom tree. And behold, an angel touched him and said to him, “Arise and eat.”
