    3Elijah was afraid, so he got up and fled for his life to Beer Sheba in Judah. He left his servant there,

    4while he went a day’s journey into the wilderness. He went and sat down under a shrub and asked the LORD to take his life:“I’ve had enough! Now, O LORD, take my life. After all, I’m no better than my ancestors.”
