1. King Ahab told Jezebel every thing Elijah had done and how Elijah had killed all the prophets with a sword.
2. So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “May the gods punish me terribly if by this time tomorrow I don’t kill you just as you killed those prophets.”
3. When Elijah heard this, he was afraid and ran for his life, taking his servant with him. When they came to Beersheba in Judah, Elijah left his servant there.
4. Then Elijah walked for a whole day into the desert. He sat down under a bush and asked to die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he prayed. “Let me die. I am no better than my ancestors.”
5. Then he lay down under the tree and slept.Suddenly an angel came to him and touched him. “Get up and eat,” the angel said.
