1 Kings 19:4 in Context — 1 Kings 19

2 Entonces envió Jezabel á Elías un mensajero, diciendo: Así me hagan los dioses, y así me añadan, si mañana á estas horas yo no haya puesto tu persona como la de uno de ellos.

3 Viendo pues [el peligro], levantóse y fuése por salvar su vida, y vino á Beer-seba, que es en Judá, y dejó allí su criado.

4 Y él se fué por el desierto un día de camino, y vino y sentóse debajo de un enebro; y deseando morirse, dijo: Baste ya, oh Jehová, quita mi alma; que no soy yo mejor que mis padres.

5 Y echándose debajo del enebro, quedóse dormido: y he aquí luego un ángel que le tocó, y le dijo: Levántate, come.

6 Entonces él miró, y he aquí á su cabecera una torta cocida sobre las ascuas, y un vaso de agua: y comió y bebió, y volvióse á dormir.
