1 Kings 19:4 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 19:4

2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, ^a“So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.”

3 And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to 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 a¹ broom tree. And he ^aprayed that he might die, and said, “It is enough! Now, Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!”

5 Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an¹ angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat.”

6 Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on¹ coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and lay down again.

7 And the¹ angel of the Lord came back the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.”
