¹⁵ When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But ^(A)Moses fled from ^[a]the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of ^(B)Midian; and he sat down by ^(C)a well.

²⁷ By faith ^(A)he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.

^29 (A)Then, at this saying, Moses fled and became a dweller in the land of Midian, where he ^(B)had two sons.

² And he looked, and saw a ^(A)well in the field; and behold, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks. A large stone was on the well’s mouth.

¹¹ And he made his camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water at evening time, the time ^(A)when women go out to draw water.

⁶ Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

^23 (A)When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have ^(B)gone through the cities of Israel ^(C)before the Son of Man comes.

¹³ So it was, when Elijah heard it, that ^(A)he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. ^(B)Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

^14 (C)And he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.”

Elijah Escapes from Jezebel

19 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had ^(A)executed all the prophets with the sword. ² Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, ^(B)“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.” ³ 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.
