1 Kings 19:1-8

1And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and in detail how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.

2And Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah saying, So do the 1gods [to me], and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to-morrow about this time!

3And when he saw [that], he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.

4And he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a certain broom-bush, and requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough: now, Jehovah, take my life; for I am not better than my fathers.

5And he lay down and slept under the broom-bush. And behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, Arise, eat!

6And he looked, and behold, at his head was a cake, baked on hot stones, and a cruse of water. And he ate and drank, and lay down again.

7And the angel of Jehovah came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise, eat; for the journey is too great for thee.

8And he arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of 2God.
