*
And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done ,
also how he had executed all the prophets with the sword .
*
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 ."
*
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 .
*
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 !"
*
Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree ,
suddenly an angel touched him ,
and said to him , "
Arise and eat ."
*
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 .
*
And the angel of the LORD came back the second time ,
and touched him ,
and said , "
Arise and eat ,
because the journey is too great for you ."
*
So he arose ,
and ate and drank ;
and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb ,
the mountain of God .
