1Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
2Then Jezebel send a messenger to Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I don`t make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.
3When he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.
4But he himself went a day`s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper-tree: and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is enough; now, O Yahweh, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
5He lay down and slept under a juniper-tree; and, behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, Arise and eat.
6He looked, and, behold, there was at his head a cake baked on the coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drink, and laid him down again.
7The angel of Yahweh came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.
