1 King Ahab told his wife Jezebel everything Elijah had done. He told how he 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 do not 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. He left the servant there.
4 Elijah walked a whole day into the wilderness. He stopped and sat down under a broom plant and wished he would die. »It is just too much, Jehovah,« he prayed. »Take away my life. I could just as well be dead.«
