1 Kings 19:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

³ Elijah was afraid,^[a] and he ran for his life. He went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and he left his servant there. ⁴ But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness. There he sat down under a broom tree, where he prayed that he would die. He said, “I’ve had enough, Lord. Take my life, for I am no better than my fathers.” ⁵ Then he lay down and went to sleep under the broom tree.

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