1 Kings 19:1-11

19:1

And Ahab
<0256>

told
<05046> (8686)

Jezebel
<0348>

all that Elijah
<0452>

had done
<06213> (8804)_,

and withal how he had slain
<02026> (8804)

all the prophets
<05030>

with the sword
<02719>_.

19:2

Then Jezebel
<0348>

sent
<07971> (8799)

a messenger
<04397>

unto Elijah
<0452>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

So let the gods
<0430>

do
<06213> (8799)

[to me], and more
<03254> (8686)

also, if I make
<07760> (8799)

not thy life
<05315>

as the life
<05315>

of one
<0259>

of them by to morrow
<04279>

about this time
<06256>_.

19:3

And when he saw
<07200> (8799)

[that], he arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

for his life
<05315>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Beersheba
<0884>_,

which [belongeth] to Judah
<03063>_,

and left
<03240> (8686)

his servant
<05288>

there.

19:4

But he himself went
<01980> (8804)

a day's
<03117>

journey
<01870>

into the wilderness
<04057>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

and sat down
<03427> (8799)

under a
<0259>

juniper tree
<07574>_:

and he requested
<07592> (8799)

for himself
<05315>

that he might die
<04191> (8800)_;

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

It is enough
<07227>_;

now, O LORD
<03068>_,

take away
<03947> (8798)

my life
<05315>_;

for I [am] not better
<02896>

than my fathers
<01>_.

{for himself: Heb. for his life}

19:5

And as he lay
<07901> (8799)

and slept
<03462> (8799)

under a
<0259>

juniper tree
<07574>_,

behold, then an angel
<04397>

touched
<05060> (8802)

him, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Arise
<06965> (8798)

[and] eat
<0398> (8798)_.

19:6

And he looked
<05027> (8686)_,

and, behold, [there was] a cake
<05692>

baken on the coals
<07529>_,

and a cruse
<06835>

of water
<04325>

at his head
<04763>_.

And he did eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8799)_,

and laid him down
<07901> (8799)

again
<07725> (8799)_.

{head: Heb. bolster}

19:7

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

came again
<07725> (8799)

the second time
<08145>_,

and touched
<05060> (8799)

him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Arise
<06965> (8798)

[and] eat
<0398> (8798)_;

because the journey
<01870>

[is] too great
<07227>

for thee.

19:8

And he arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and did eat
<0398> (8799)

and drink
<08354> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

in the strength
<03581>

of that meat
<0396>

forty
<0705>

days
<03117>

and forty
<0705>

nights
<03915>

unto Horeb
<02722>

the mount
<02022>

of God
<0430>_.

19:9

And he came
<0935> (8799)

thither unto a cave
<04631>_,

and lodged
<03885> (8799)

there; and, behold, the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

[came] to him, and he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah
<0452>_?

19:10

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I have been very
<07065> (8763)

jealous
<07065> (8765)

for the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>_:

for the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

have forsaken
<05800> (8804)

thy covenant
<01285>_,

thrown down
<02040> (8804)

thine altars
<04196>_,

and slain
<02026> (8804)

thy prophets
<05030>

with the sword
<02719>_;

and I, [even] I only, am left
<03498> (8735)_;

and they seek
<01245> (8762)

my life
<05315>_,

to take it away
<03947> (8800)_.

19:11

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go forth
<03318> (8798)_,

and stand
<05975> (8804)

upon the mount
<02022>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_.

And, behold, the LORD
<03068>

passed by
<05674> (8802)_,

and a great
<01419>

and strong
<02389>

wind
<07307>

rent
<06561> (8764)

the mountains
<02022>_,

and brake in pieces
<07665> (8764)

the rocks
<05553>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_;

[but] the LORD
<03068>

[was] not in the wind
<07307>_:

and after
<0310>

the wind
<07307>

an earthquake
<07494>_;

[but] the LORD
<03068>

[was] not in the earthquake
<07494>_:
