1 Kings 19:1-8
Elijah Runs from Jezebel
19Now Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and 1,ahow he had killed all the prophets with the sword. 2Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “aSo may the gods do to me and even more, if I do not make your 1life as the 2life of one of them by about this time tomorrow.” 3And he 1was afraid and arose and 2ran for his 3life and came to aBeersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his young man there. 4But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree; and ahe asked for himself that he might die, and said, “It is enough; now, O Yahweh, take my 1life, for I am not better than my fathers.” 5Then he lay down and slept under a broom tree; and behold, there was aan angel touching him, and he said to him, “Arise, eat.” 6Then he looked and behold, there was at his head a bread cake baked on hot stones, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank and lay down again. 7And the angel of Yahweh came again a second time and touched him and said, “Arise, eat, because the journey is too great for you.” 8So he arose and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food aforty days and forty nights to bHoreb, the mountain of God.
