1 Kings 19:5-8
Verse 5 As he lay and slept - Excessive anguish of mind frequently induces sleep, as well as great fatigue of body. An angel touched him - He needed refreshment, and God sent an angel to bring him what was necessary. Verse 6 A cake baken on the coals - All this seems to have been supernaturally provided. Verse 7 The journey is too great for thee - From Beer-sheba to Horeb was about one hundred and fifty miles. Verse 8 Forty days and forty nights - So he fasted just the same time as Moses did at Horeb, and as Christ did in the wilderness.
