1 Kings 19:4-10

4But he himself wentH1980 a day’sH3117 journeyH1870 into the wildernessH4057, and cameH935 and sat downH3427 under aH259 juniper treeH7574: and he requestedH7592 for himselfH5315 that he might dieH4191; and saidH559, It is enoughH7227; now, O LordH3068, take awayH3947 my lifeH5315; for I am not betterH2896 than my fathersH1.1 5And as he layH7901 and sleptH3462 under aH259 juniper treeH7574, behold, then an angelH4397 touchedH5060 him, and saidH559 unto him, AriseH6965 and eatH398. 6And he lookedH5027, and, behold, there was a cakeH5692 baken on the coalsH7529, and a cruseH6835 of waterH4325 at his headH4763. And he did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and laid him downH7901 againH7725.2 7And the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 came againH7725 the second timeH8145, and touchedH5060 him, and saidH559, AriseH6965 and eatH398; because the journeyH1870 is too greatH7227 for thee. 8And he aroseH6965, and did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and wentH3212 in the strengthH3581 of that meatH396 fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915 unto HorebH2722 the mountH2022 of GodH430.

9And he cameH935 thither unto a caveH4631, and lodgedH3885 there; and, behold, the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 came to him, and he saidH559 unto him, What doest thou here, ElijahH452? 10And he saidH559, I have been veryH7065 jealousH7065 for the LordH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635: for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have forsakenH5800 thy covenantH1285, thrown downH2040 thine altarsH4196, and slainH2026 thy prophetsH5030 with the swordH2719; and I, even I only, am leftH3498; and they seekH1245 my lifeH5315, to take it awayH3947.
