¹ King Ahab told his wife Jezebel everything that Elijah had done and how he had put all the prophets of Baal to death. ² She sent a message to Elijah: "May the gods strike me dead if by this time tomorrow I don't do the same thing to you that you did to the prophets." ³ Elijah was afraid and fled for his life; he took his servant and went to Beersheba in Judah. Leaving the servant there, ⁴ Elijah walked a whole day into the wilderness. He stopped and sat down in the shade of a tree and wished he would die. "It's too much, LORD," he prayed. "Take away my life; I might as well be dead!" ⁵ He lay down under the tree and fell asleep. Suddenly an angel touched him and said, "Wake up and eat." ⁶ He looked around and saw a loaf of bread and a jar of water near his head. He ate and drank, and lay down again. ⁷ The LORD's angel returned and woke him up a second time, saying, "Get up and eat, or the trip will be too much for you." ⁸ Elijah got up, ate and drank, and the food gave him enough strength to walk forty days to Sinai, the holy mountain. ⁹ There he went into a cave to spend the night. Suddenly the LORD spoke to him, "Elijah, what are you doing here?"
