2Then JezebelH348 sentH7971 a messengerH4397 to ElijahH452, sayingH559, “1SoH3541 may the godsH430 doH6213 to me and moreH3254 soH3541, ifH3588 by about this timeH6256 tomorrowH4279 I do not makeH7760 your 2lifeH5315 like the 3lifeH5315 of oneH259 of them.”

3And he 4wasH3372 afraidH3372, and gotH6965 upH6965 and ranH1980 for his 5lifeH5315 and cameH935 to 6BeershebaH884, whichH834 belongs to JudahH3063; and he leftH5117 his servantH5288 thereH8033.

4But he himselfH1931 wentH1980 a day’sH3117 journeyH1870 into the wildernessH4057, and cameH935 and satH3427 downH3427 underH8478 a broomH7574 treeH7574; and 7he askedH7592 for himselfH5315 to dieH4191, and saidH559, “EnoughH7227! NowH6258, LordH3068, takeH3947 my 8lifeH5315, for I am noH3808 betterH2896 thanH4480 my fathersH1.”
