1 Kings 19:2 in Context — 1 Kings 19

1 Achab rapporta à Jézabel tout ce qu’avait fait Élie, et comment il avait tué par l’épée tous les prophètes.

2 Jézabel envoya un messager à Élie, pour lui dire: Que les dieux me traitent dans toute leur rigueur, si demain, à cette heure, je ne fais de ta vie ce que tu as fait de la vie de chacun d’eux!

3 Élie, voyant cela, se leva et s’en alla, pour sauver sa vie. Il arriva à Beer-Schéba, qui appartient à Juda, et il y laissa son serviteur.

4 Pour lui, il alla dans le désert où, après une journée de marche, il s’assit sous un genêt, et demanda la mort, en disant: C’est assez! Maintenant, Éternel, prends mon âme, car je ne suis pas meilleur que mes pères.
