Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 19 of 1 Kings. Jezebel threatens Elijah after the victory at Carmel, and the prophet flees into the wilderness. There, exhausted, he asks to die, but an angel provides him with food and water. The scene radically changes tone from the previous triumph: the victorious prophet now appears vulnerable and exhausted. God’s care precedes the new mission, showing that prophetic ministry also requires sustaining divine provision.
