1 Kings 19:4-14

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 1God.

9And there he went into a cave, and lodged there. And behold, the word of Jehovah [came] to him, and he said to him, What doest thou here, Elijah?

10And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the 2God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I am left, I alone, and they seek my life, to take it away.

11And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before Jehovah. And behold, Jehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before Jehovah: Jehovah was not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake: Jehovah was not in the earthquake.

12And after the earthquake, a fire: Jehovah was not in the fire. And after the fire, a soft gentle voice.

13And it came to pass, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, a voice [came] to him and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?

14And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the 3God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I am left, I alone, and they seek my life, to take it away.
