1 Then Ahab reported to Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
2 And so Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, "May the gods to these things, and may they add these other things, if by this hour tomorrow I will not have made your life like the life of one of them."
3 Therefore, Elijah was afraid. And rising up, he went away to wherever his will would carry him. And he arrived in Beersheba of Judah. And he dismissed his servant there.
4 And he continued on, into the desert, for one day's journey. And when he had arrived, and was sitting under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die. And he said: "It is enough for me, O Lord. Take my soul. For I am no better than my fathers."
