New King James Version
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 he prayed that he might die, and said, “It is enough! Now, Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!”
5Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat.”
6Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and lay down again.
7And the angel of the Lord came back the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.”
8So he arose, and ate and drank; and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of God.
9And there he went into a cave, and spent the night in that place; and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
10So he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.”
