1 Kings 19


1 When Ahab got home, he told Jezebel everything Elijah had done, including the way he had killed all the prophets of Baal. 


2 So Jezebel sent this message to Elijah: “May the gods strike me and even kill me if by this time tomorrow I have not killed you just as you killed them.” 


3 Elijah was afraid and fled for his life. He went to Beersheba, a town in Judah, and he left his servant there. 




2 Timothy 1


7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
