1 Kings 19:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ So Elijah got up and ate and drank. The food made him strong enough to walk for forty days and nights to Mount ·Sinai [^LHoreb; Ex. 3:1, 17:6; 19:18], the mountain of God. ⁹ There Elijah went into a cave and stayed all night.

Then the ·Lord spoke his word to [word of the Lord came to] him: “Elijah! ·Why are you [What are you doing] here?”

¹⁰ He answered, “Lord God ·All-Powerful [of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts], I have ·always served you as well as I could [been very zealous for you]. But the ·people [^Lsons; ^Tchildren] of Israel have ·broken [abandoned; forsaken] their ·agreement [covenant; solemn pact] with you, ·destroyed [torn down] your altars, and killed your prophets with swords. I ·am the only prophet [alone am] left, and now they ·are trying to kill me [seek my life], too.”
