168 : Basic English : 1 Kings 19,20; Gospel of John 17 ) 1. Ahab gave Jezebel news of all Elijah had done, and how he had put all the prophets to death with the sword.
2. Then Jezebel sent a servant to Elijah, saying, May the gods' punishment be on me if I do not make your life like the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.
3. And he got up, fearing for his life, and went in flight, and came to Beer-sheba in Judah, parting there from his servant;
4. While he himself went a day's journey into the waste land, and took a seat under a broom-plant, desiring for himself only death; for he said, It is enough: now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.
5. And stretching himself on the earth, he went to sleep under the broom-plant; but an angel, touching him, said to him, Get up and have some food.
