1 Kings 19:3-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

³ And he ^[a]was afraid and arose and ran for his ^[b]life and came to ^(A)Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. ⁴ But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a ^[c]juniper tree; and ^(B)he requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is enough; now, O Lord, take my ^[d]life, for I am not better than my fathers.” ⁵ He lay down and slept under a ^[e]juniper tree; and behold, there was ^(C)an angel touching him, and he said to him, “Arise, eat.” ⁶ Then he looked and behold, there was at his head a bread cake baked on hot stones, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank and lay down again. ⁷ The angel of the Lord came again a second time and touched him and said, “Arise, eat, because the journey is too great for you.” ⁸ So he arose and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food ^(D)forty days and forty nights to ^(E)Horeb, the mountain of God.
