3 Elijah was afraid when he got her message, and he ran to the town of Beersheba in Judah. He left his servant there,
4 then walked another whole day into the desert. Finally, he came to a large bush and sat down in its shade. He begged the Lord, “I've had enough. Just let me die! I'm no better off than my ancestors.”
5 Then he lay down in the shade and fell asleep.Suddenly an angel woke him up and said, “Get up and eat.”
6 Elijah looked around, and by his head was a jar of water and some baked bread. He sat up, ate and drank, then lay down and went back to sleep.
7 Soon the Lord's angel woke him again and said, “Get up and eat, or else you'll get too tired to travel.”
8 So Elijah sat up and ate and drank.The food and water made him strong enough to walk forty more days. At last, he reached Mount Sinai, the mountain of God,
9 and he spent the night there in a cave.While Elijah was on Mount Sinai, the Lord asked, “Elijah, why are you here?”
