Melachim Alef 19:2-4

Orthodox Jewish Bible

² Then Izevel sent a malach unto Eliyahu, saying, So let elohim do to me, and more also, if I make not thy nefesh as the life of one of them by this time makhar (tomorrow).

³ And when he saw that, he arose, and fled for his nefesh, and came to Be’er Sheva, which belongeth to Yehudah, and left his na’ar (servant) there.

⁴ But he himself went derech yom (a day’s journey) into the midbar, and came and sat down under a broom tree; and he requested for his nefesh to die; and said, It is enough; now, O Hashem, take away my nefesh; for I am no better than my avot.
