And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had executed all the prophets with the sword.
2
Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, "So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time."
3
And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to Beersheba, 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. And he prayed that he might die, and said, "It is enough! Now, Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!"
5
Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, "Arise and eat."
6
Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and lay down again.
