1 Kings 19:4-10

1 Kings 19:4-10

[4] But he himself went  a day's  journey  into the wilderness,  and came  and sat down  under a  juniper tree:  and he requested  for himself  that he might die;  and said,  It is enough;  now, O LORD,  take away  my life;  for I am not better  than my fathers.  [5] And as he lay  and slept  under a  juniper tree,  behold, then an angel  touched  him, and said  unto him, Arise  and eat.  [6] And he looked,  and, behold, there was a cake  baken on the coals,  and a cruse  of water  at his head.  And he did eat  and drink,  and laid him down  again.  [7] And the angel  of the LORD  came again  the second time,  and touched  him, and said,  Arise  and eat;  because the journey  is too great  for thee. [8] And he arose,  and did eat  and drink,  in the strength  of that meat  forty  days  and forty  nights  unto Horeb  the mount  of God.  [9] And he came  thither unto a cave,  and lodged  there; and, behold, the word  of the LORD  came to him, and he said  unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?  [10] And he said,  I have been very  God  of hosts:  for the children  of Israel  have forsaken  thy covenant,  thrown down  thine altars,  and slain  thy prophets  with the sword;  and I, even I only, am left;  and they seek  my life,  to take it away.
