1 Kings 19:2-4

English Standard Version Anglicised

² Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, ^(A)“So may the gods do to me and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by this time tomorrow.” ³ Then he was afraid, and he arose and ran for his life and came to ^(B)Beersheba, which belongs to 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 broom tree. ^(C)And he asked that he might die, saying, “It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.”
