1 Kings 19:1-8

1Now AhabH256 toldH5046 JezebelH348 allH3605 that ElijahH452 had doneH6213, and 12howH834 he had killedH2026 allH3605 the prophetsH5030 with the swordH2719. 2Then JezebelH348 sentH7971 a messengerH4397 to ElijahH452, sayingH559, “3SoH3541 may the godsH430 doH6213 to me and evenH3541 moreH3254, ifH3588 I do not makeH7760 your 4lifeH5315 as the 5lifeH5315 of oneH259 of them by tomorrowH4279 about this timeH6256.” 3And he 6was afraidH3372 and aroseH6965 and ranH1980 for his 7lifeH5315 and cameH935 to 8BeershebaH884, whichH834 belongs to JudahH3063, and leftH5117 his servantH5288 thereH8033. 4But he himselfH1931 wentH1980 a day’sH3117 journeyH1870 into the wildernessH4057, and cameH935 and satH3427 downH3427 underH8478 a 9juniperH7574 treeH7574; and 10he requestedH7592 for himselfH5315 that he might dieH4191, and saidH559, “It is enoughH7227; nowH6258, O LordH3068, takeH3947 my 11lifeH5315, for I am not betterH2896 thanH4480 my fathersH1.” 5He layH7901 downH7901 and sleptH3462 underH8478 a 12juniperH7574 treeH7574; and beholdH2009, thereH2088 was 13an angelH4397 touchingH5060 him, and he saidH559 to him, “AriseH6965, eatH398.” 6Then he lookedH5027 and beholdH2009, there was at his headH4763 a breadH5692 cakeH5692 baked on hotH7531 stonesH7531, and a jarH6835 of waterH4325. So he ateH398 and drankH8354 and layH7901 downH7901 againH7725. 7The angelH4397 of the LordH3068 cameH7725 againH7725 a secondH8145 timeH8145 and touchedH5060 him and saidH559, “AriseH6965, eatH398, becauseH3588 the journeyH1870 is tooH4480 greatH7227 for you.” 8So he aroseH6965 and ateH398 and drankH8354, and wentH1980 in the strengthH3581 of that foodH396 14fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915 to 15HorebH2722, the mountainH2022 of GodH430.
