“And Ahab declares to Jezebel all that Elijah did, and all of how he slew all the prophets by the sword,”— 1 Kings 19:1 (LSV)
1And Ahab declares to Jezebel all that Elijah did, and all of how he slew all the prophets by the sword,
2and Jezebel sends a messenger to Elijah, saying, “Thus the gods do, and thus do they add—surely about this time tomorrow, I make your life as the life of one of them.”
3And he fears, and rises, and goes for his life, and comes to Beer-Sheba, that [is] Judah’s, and leaves his young man there,
4and he himself has gone a day’s journey into the wilderness, and comes and sits under a certain broom tree, and desires his soul to die, and says, “Enough, now, O YHWH, take my soul, for I [am] not better than my fathers.”
