1 Kings 19 — Context

5

He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, there was 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 forty days and forty nights to Horeb, the mountain of God.

9

Then he came there to a cave and lodged there; and behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and He said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

10

He said, "I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars and killed Your prophets with the sword. And I alone am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."

11

So He said, "Go forth and stand on the mountain before the LORD." And behold, the LORD was passing by! And a great and strong wind was rending the mountains and breaking in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
