1 Kings 19:4-8 ▼

4 while he went a day's journey into the desert. He went and sat down under a shrub and asked the LORD to take his life: |I've had enough! Now, O LORD, take my life. After all, I'm no better than my ancestors.|

5 He stretched out and fell asleep under the shrub. All of a sudden an angelic messenger touched him and said, |Get up and eat.|

6 He looked and right there by his head was a cake baking on hot coals and a jug of water. He ate and drank and then slept some more.

7 The LORD's angelic messenger came back again, touched him, and said, |Get up and eat, for otherwise you won't be able to make the journey.|

8 So he got up and ate and drank. That meal gave him the strength to travel forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God.
