1 Kings 19:4-10
4But he himselfH1931 wentH1980 a day’sH3117 journeyH1870 into the wildernessH4057, and cameH935 and satH3427 downH3427 underH8478 a 1juniperH7574 treeH7574; and 2he requestedH7592 for himselfH5315 that he might dieH4191, and saidH559, “It is enoughH7227; nowH6258, O LordH3068, takeH3947 my 3lifeH5315, for I am not betterH2896 thanH4480 my fathersH1.” 5He layH7901 downH7901 and sleptH3462 underH8478 a 4juniperH7574 treeH7574; and beholdH2009, thereH2088 was 5an 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 6fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915 to 7HorebH2722, the mountainH2022 of GodH430.
9Then he cameH935 thereH8033 to a caveH4631 and lodgedH3885 thereH8033; and beholdH2009, 8the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 came to him, and He saidH559 to him, “WhatH4100 are you doing hereH6311, ElijahH452?” 10He saidH559, “9I have beenH7065 veryH7065 zealousH7065 for the LordH3068, the GodH430 of hostsH6635; for the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 have forsakenH5800 Your covenantH1285, 10tornH2040 downH2040 Your altarsH4196 and killedH2026 Your prophetsH5030 with the swordH2719. And 11I aloneH905 am leftH3498; and they seekH1245 my lifeH5315, to takeH3947 it away.”
