Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah did ,
and all that he killed ,
all the prophets by the sword .
*
And Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah ,
saying ,
So let the gods do ,
and more so ,
if not at this time tomorrow I will cause your life to be as the life of one of them .
*
And he saw ,
and rose up and went for his life ,
and came to Beersheba of Judah ,
and left his young man there ;
*
and he himself went into the wilderness a day '
s journey ,
and came and sat under a certain broom tree .
And he begged for his life ,
that he might die ,
and said ,
Enough ,
now ,
O Jehovah ;
take my life ,
for I am no better than my fathers .
*
And he lay down and slept under a certain broom tree ;
and behold ,
an angel touched him and said to him ,
Get up ,
eat !
*
And he looked ,
and behold ,
at his head was a cake on burning stones ,
and a jar of water ;
and he ate and drank ,
and turned and lay down .
*
And the angel of Jehovah returned a second time ,
and touched him ,
and said ,
Get up ,
eat ,
for the way is too great for you .
*
And he rose up and ate and drank ,
and went in the power of that food forty days and forty nights to the mount of God ,
Horeb .
