1 Kings 19:5

And as he lay and slept ["While death was called for, the cousin of death comes unbidden" (Hall)] under a [Heb. one ] Juniper tree, behold, then [Heb. זֶה this ; "behold here," siehe da, Gesen.], an angel [Heb. messenger ; the same word as in verse 2, but explained in verse 7 to be a messenger of God . Cf. Genesis 16:9 ; Genesis 21:17 ] touched [Heb. touching ] him and said unto him, Arise and eat. [Probably he had eaten little or nothing since leaving Jezreel. Food was now what he most needed. This circumstance suggests that the profound depression betrayed in his prayer (verse 4) was largely the result of physical weakness.]
