1 Kings 19:3-5

Contemporary English Version

³ Elijah was afraid when he got her message, and he ran to the town of Beersheba in Judah. He left his servant there, ^4 (A) then walked another whole day into the desert. Finally, he came to a large bush and sat down in its shade. He begged the Lord, “I've had enough. Just let me die! I'm no better off than my ancestors.” ⁵ Then he lay down in the shade and fell asleep.

Suddenly an angel woke him up and said, “Get up and eat.”
