7. The angel of the Lord came to him a second time. He touched him and said, "Get up and eat. Your journey will be long and hard."
8. So he got up. He ate and drank. The food gave him new strength. He traveled for 40 days and 40 nights. He kept going until he arrived at Horeb. It was the mountain of God.
9. There he went into a cave and spent the night. A message came to Elijah from the Lord. He said, "Elijah, what are you doing here?"
10. He replied, "Lord God who rules over all, I've been very committed to you. The people of Israel have turned their backs on your covenant. They have torn down your altars. They've put your prophets to death with their swords. I'm the only one left. And they are trying to kill me."
