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?”
10. He answered, “Lord God All-Powerful, I've always done my best to obey you. But your people have broken their solemn promise to you. They have torn down your altars and killed all your prophets, except me. And now they are even trying to kill me!”
