1 Kings 19:4 in Context — 1 Kings 19
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.
5 Il se coucha et s’endormit sous un genêt. Et voici, un ange le toucha, et lui dit: Lève-toi, mange.
6 Il regarda, et il y avait à son chevet un gâteau cuit sur des pierres chauffées et une cruche d’eau. Il mangea et but, puis se recoucha.
