1 Kings 19:5-8
19:5 He stretched out 1 and fell asleep under the shrub. All of a sudden an angelic messenger 2 touched him and said, “Get up and eat.”
19:6 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. 3
19:7 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.” 4
19:8 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.
