1. And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done and of how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
2. Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if by tomorrow at this time I have not made thy person as one of them.
3. And when he saw that, he arose and departed to save his life and came to Beersheba, which is in Judah, and left his servant there.
4. But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a juniper tree; and desiring to die, he said, It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am not better than my fathers.
5. And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him and said unto him, Arise and eat.
6. Then he looked and behold, there was a cake baked on the coals and a cruse of water at his head. And he ate and drank and went back to sleep.
