Yonah 4:3:
3 So therefore Yahweh, please kill me because I’d rather die than live like this.”[ref]
Rom 11:3:

2Ki 8:7-13:
7 Elisha went to Aram’s (Syria’s) capital Damesek (Damascus) at a time when King Ben-Hadad of Aram was very sick, and someone told him that the man of God was in town. 8 The king instructed an official named Hazael, “Take a gift with you and go and meet the man of God. Then inquire from Yahweh through him to find out if I’ll recover from this sickness.” 9 So Hazael went to meet Elisha and took presents with him loaded on forty camels—some of every good thing that he could find in Damesek. He went and stood in front of him and asked, “Your servant, King Ben-Hadad sent me to ask you if he’ll recover from his sickness?”
10 “Go and tell him that he’ll surely live,” Elisha answered. “But Yahweh has shown me that he’ll definitely die.” 11 Then Elisha stared at him until Hazael felt embarrassed, and then the man of God started to cry.
12 “Why are you crying, my master?” Hazael asked.
“Because I know what evil things you’ll do to the Israelis,” he said. “You’ll burn down their fortresses and kill their young men with the sword. You’ll smash their children’s heads on rocks, and rip open the bellies of their pregnant women.”
13 Hazael asked, “But how could your servant be in a position to do such a major thing when he’s only minor, like a dog in the palace?”
“Yahweh has let me see you as king over Aram (Syria).” Elisha replied.
2Ki 9:1-6:
9 Then the prophet Elisha called to one of the prophets-in-training and told him, “Tuck your robe in, take this flask of oil, and hurry to Ramot-Gilead. 2 When you get there, you’ll see Yehu (Jehu) (the son of Nimshi’s son Yehoshafat (Jehoshaphat)) there. Take him into a private inner room, away from his brothers, 3 and pour some of the olive oil over his head and tell him that Yahweh says that he’s anointed him as king over Yisrael (Israel). Then open the door and get out of there fast.” 4 So the young prophet went to Ramot-Gilead, 5 and when he arrived, he was surprised to see the army captains sitting there. He said, “I need to talk to you, captain.”
“Which one of us?” Yehu asked.
“It’s a message for you, captain,” he said. 6 So Yehu got up, and went over to the house where the prophet poured the oil on his head and told him, “Yisrael’s god Yahweh says that he’s anointed you as king over Yahweh’s people—over Yisrael.
Rom 11:4:
4 But what was revealed to him? God said: ‘I’ve kept aside seven thousand others who haven’t worshipped Ba’al.’[ref]
