1 Kings 19:8-10

GOD’S WORD Translation

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,^[a] torn down your altars, and executed your prophets. I’m the only one left, and they’re trying to take my life.”
