But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
Pero Elías viajó un día completo por el desierto y se sentó bajo un árbol de enebro. Estaba tan desanimado que oró para morir, diciendo: 'Ya es suficiente, SEÑOR. Por favor quita mi vida, no soy mejor que los que vinieron antes de mí.'
Elías, completamente desanimado, le pidió a Dios que le quitara la vida porque se sentía derrotado.

However, Queen Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, vowed to kill him in retaliation, leading Elijah to flee into the wilderness in fear and physical exhaustion. There, under a juniper tree, he expressed profound despair and prayed for death, feeling his life was no more significant than that of his ancestors.
