1 Kings 19:3-5
21st Century King James Version
3 And when he saw that, he arose and went for his life and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.
4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree; and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is enough! Now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am not better than my fathers.”
5 And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him and said unto him, “Arise and eat.”

New International Version
3 Elijah was afraid[a] and ran(A) for his life.(B) When he came to Beersheba(C) in Judah, he left his servant there, 4 while he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush,(D) sat down under it and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life;(E) I am no better than my ancestors.” 5 Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep.(F)
All at once an angel(G) touched him and said, “Get up and eat.”
