Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done
And how he had killed all the prophets with the sword
So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say"May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely
If by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them"
Elijah was afraid and ran for his life
When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there
While he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness
He came to a broom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die"I have had enough, Lord" he said"Take my life
I am no better than my ancestors"
Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep
All at once an angel touched him and said"Get up and eat"
He looked around, and there by his head was some bread
Baked over hot coals, and a jar of water
He ate and drank and then lay down again
The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said"Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you"
So he got up and ate and drank
Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights
Until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God
