1 Kings 19:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ Elijah was afraid. So he ran for his life. He came to Beersheba in Judah. He left his servant there. ⁴ Then he traveled for one day into the desert. He came to a small bush. He sat down under it. He prayed that he would die. “Lord, I’ve had enough,” he said. “Take my life. I’m no better than my people of long ago.” ⁵ Then he lay down under the bush. And he fell asleep.

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