*
And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done ,
and as well how he had slain all the prophets with the sword .
*
Then Jezebel send a messenger to Elijah ,
saying ,
So let the gods do to me ,
and more also ,
if I don '
t make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time .
*
And he was afraid ,
he arose ,
and went for his life ,
and came to Beer-sheba ,
which belongs to Judah ,
and left his attendant there .
*
But he himself went a day '
s journey into the wilderness ,
and came and sat down under a juniper-tree :
and he requested for himself that he might die ,
and said ,
It is enough ;
now ,
O Yahweh ,
take away my life ;
for I am not better than my fathers .
*
And he lay down and slept under a juniper-tree ;
and ,
look ,
an angel touched him ,
and said to him ,
Arise and eat .
*
And he looked and saw that there was at his head a cake baked on the coals ,
and a cruse of water .
And he ate and drank ,
and laid down again .
*
And the angel of Yahweh came again the second time ,
and touched him ,
and said ,
Arise and eat ,
because the journey is too great for you .
*
And he arose ,
and ate and drank ,
and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God .
