1 Kings 19:4-10

4But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree; and 1he asked for himself to die, and said, “Enough! Now, Lord, take my 2life, for I am no better than my fathers.” 5Then he lay down and fell asleep under a broom tree; but behold, there was 3an angel touching him, and he said to him, “Arise, eat!” 6And he looked, and behold, there was at his head a round loaf of bread baked on hot coals, and a pitcher of water. So he ate and drank, and lay down again. 7But the angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him, and said, “Arise, eat; because the journey is too long for you.” 8So he arose and ate and drank, and he journeyed in the strength of that food for 4forty days and forty nights to 5Horeb, the mountain of God.

9Then he came there to a cave and spent the night there; and behold, 6the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 10And he said, “7I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of armies; for the sons of Israel have abandoned Your covenant, 8torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. And 9I alone am left; and they have sought to take my life.”
