In the second part Elias feels threatened because of the renewed conflict with Ahab and his wife and that´s why he migrates to the desert. Mendelssohn forms this part by the dramatic chorus moment. The 3-partial aria "It's enough", by which Elias expresses his resignation, draws parallels to the aria "It's done" from Bach's "John's passions". The composer leaves to the music much space as he describes the 40-day way of Elias through the desert to Horeb hill.
