1 Kings 19:1-8

1Now AhabH256 toldH5046 JezebelH348 everythingH3605 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 moreH3254 soH3541, ifH3588 by about this timeH6256 tomorrowH4279 I do not makeH7760 your 4lifeH5315 like the 5lifeH5315 of oneH259 of them.” 3And he 6wasH3372 afraidH3372, and gotH6965 upH6965 and ranH1980 for his 7lifeH5315 and cameH935 to 8BeershebaH884, whichH834 belongs to JudahH3063; and he leftH5117 his servantH5288 thereH8033. 4But he himselfH1931 wentH1980 a day’sH3117 journeyH1870 into the wildernessH4057, and cameH935 and satH3427 downH3427 underH8478 a broomH7574 treeH7574; and 9he askedH7592 for himselfH5315 to dieH4191, and saidH559, “EnoughH7227! NowH6258, LordH3068, takeH3947 my 10lifeH5315, for I am noH3808 betterH2896 thanH4480 my fathersH1.” 5Then he layH7901 downH7901 and fellH3462 asleepH3462 underH8478 a broomH7574 treeH7574; but beholdH2009, thereH2088 was 11an angelH4397 touchingH5060 him, and he saidH559 to him, “AriseH6965, eatH398!” 6And he lookedH5027, and beholdH2009, there was atH4763 his headH4763 a roundH5692 loafH5692 ofH5692 breadH5692 baked on hotH7531 coalsH7531, and a pitcherH6835 of waterH4325. So he ateH398 and drankH8354, and layH7901 downH7901 againH7725. 7But the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 cameH7725 backH7725 a secondH8145 timeH8145 and touchedH5060 him, and saidH559, “AriseH6965, eatH398; becauseH3588 the journeyH1870 is tooH4480 longH7227 for you.” 8So he aroseH6965 and ateH398 and drankH8354, and he journeyedH1980 in the strengthH3581 of that foodH396 for 12fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915 to 13HorebH2722, the mountainH2022 of GodH430.
