1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done and of how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if by tomorrow at this time I have not made thy person as one of them.
3 And when he saw that, he arose and departed to save his life and came to Beersheba, which is in 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 juniper tree; and desiring to die, he said, It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am not better than my fathers.
5 And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him and said unto him, Arise and eat.
