1 Kings

1 Kings 19:5–7

⁵Then he lay down under the broom tree and fell asleep.

Suddenly an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.”

⁶And he looked around, and there by his head was a cake of bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank and lay down again.

⁷A second time the angel of the LORD returned and touched him, saying, “Get up and eat, or the journey will be too much for you.”
