1 KINGS 19:3 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer–sheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.”
And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there — Elijah flees in fear for his life. The phrase shows the prophet, despite his recent miraculous demonstration of divine power, experiencing human terror. He flees south to Beersheba, the southern boundary of Judah, seeking safety in southern territory.
