6. When he looked, he saw near his head some bread baked on hot stones and a jar of water. So he ate, drank, and went to sleep again.
7. The angel of the Lord came back and woke him up again. The angel said, “Get up and eat, or your journey will be too much for you.”
8. He got up, ate, and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled for 40 days and nights until he came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
9. There he went into a cave and spent the night.Then the Lord spoke his word to Elijah. He asked, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
10. He answered, “Lord God of Armies, I have eagerly served you. The Israelites have abandoned your promises, torn down your altars, and executed your prophets. I’m the only one left, and they’re trying to take my life.”
