2Then JezebelH348 sentH7971 a messengerH4397 to ElijahH452, sayingH559, “1SoH3541 may the godsH430 doH6213 to me and evenH3541 moreH3254, ifH3588 I do not makeH7760 your 2lifeH5315 as the 3lifeH5315 of oneH259 of them by tomorrowH4279 about this timeH6256.”
3And he 4was afraidH3372 and aroseH6965 and ranH1980 for his 5lifeH5315 and cameH935 to 6BeershebaH884, whichH834 belongs to JudahH3063, and leftH5117 his servantH5288 thereH8033.
4But he himselfH1931 wentH1980 a day’sH3117 journeyH1870 into the wildernessH4057, and cameH935 and satH3427 downH3427 underH8478 a 7juniperH7574 treeH7574; and 8he requestedH7592 for himselfH5315 that he might dieH4191, and saidH559, “It is enoughH7227; nowH6258, O LordH3068, takeH3947 my 9lifeH5315, for I am not betterH2896 thanH4480 my fathersH1.”
