Juniper: A Tree

…while he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness. He sat down under a broom tree and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, LORD,” he said. “Take my life, for I am no better than my fathers.”

Then he lay down under the broom tree and fell asleep. Suddenly an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.”

They plucked mallow among the shrubs, and the roots of the broom tree were their food.

Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!
