1 Kings 19:2-4
Legacy Standard Bible
2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “(A)So may the gods do to me and even more, if I do not make your [a]life as the [b]life of one of them by about this time tomorrow.” 3 And he [c]was afraid and arose and [d]ran for his [e]life and came to (B)Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his young man there. 4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree; and (C)he asked for himself that he might die, and said, “It is enough; now, O Yahweh, take my [f]life, for I am not better than my fathers.”
