1 Kings 19:1-5

1 Kings 19:1-5 CSB

Ahab told Jezebel  everything that Elijah had done  and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.  So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “May the gods punish me and do so severely  if I don’t make your life like the life of one of them by this time tomorrow! ” Then Elijah became afraid  , and immediately ran for his life.  When he came to Beer-sheba  that belonged to Judah, he left his servant there,  but he went on a day’s journey into the wilderness. He sat down under a broom tree  and prayed that he might die. He said, “I have had enough! Lord, take my life,  for I’m no better than my ancestors.” Then he lay down and slept under the broom tree. Suddenly, an angel touched him.  The angel told him, “Get up and eat.”
