In Hebrew, the verb used here can imply a careful observation or a sudden realization. Elijah, in his state of despair, is prompted to notice God's provision. This moment of looking around is a reminder of how God often provides for us in unexpected ways, urging us to be attentive to His presence even in our lowest moments.<p><b>there by his head</b><br />The specific mention of the location "by his head" suggests intimacy and immediacy. In ancient Near Eastern culture, the head was often considered the seat of life and consciousness. The proximity of the provision to Elijah's head symbolizes God's closeness and personal care for him. It is a powerful reminder that God's sustenance is not distant but is placed right where we need it most.<p><b>a cake of bread</b><br />The "cake of bread" signifies basic sustenance, a staple in the diet of the ancient Israelites. The Hebrew word used here can refer to a round loaf, often baked on hot stones. This simple provision echoes the manna provided to the Israelites in the wilderness, symbolizing God's ongoing provision and care. It serves as a reminder that God provides for our needs, often in the most fundamental and sustaining ways.<p><b>baked over hot coals</b><br />The detail of the bread being "baked over hot coals" adds a layer of warmth and care to the provision. In the ancient world, baking over coals was a common method, suggesting a freshly prepared meal. This imagery evokes the idea of God as a nurturing provider, who not only meets our needs but does so with attention to detail and care.<p><b>and a jar of water</b><br />Water, a symbol of life and purification, is provided alongside the bread. In the arid climate of the region, water was a precious commodity. The "jar of water" signifies refreshment and renewal, essential for Elijah's physical and spiritual restoration. This provision highlights God's understanding of our holistic needs, offering both sustenance and refreshment.<p><b>So he ate and drank</b><br />Elijah's response to eat and drink signifies acceptance and trust in God's provision. In the Hebrew context, eating and drinking are often associated with fellowship and covenant. By partaking in the meal, Elijah is not only physically nourished but also spiritually renewed, reaffirming his relationship with God.<p><b>and lay down again</b><br />The act of laying down again indicates rest and restoration. In the biblical narrative, rest is often associated with trust in God's sovereignty. Elijah's ability to lay down again after eating and drinking suggests a return to peace and reliance on God's care. It serves as a reminder that true rest comes from trusting in God's provision and timing.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/1_kings/19.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(6) <span class= "bld">And laid him down.</span>--There is a pathetic touch in the description of the prophet, wearied and disheartened, as caring not to eat sufficiently, and glad, after a morsel eaten, to forget himself again in sleep.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_kings/19.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 6.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake</span> [same word as in <a href="/1_kings/17-13.htm">1 Kings 17:13</a>] <span class="cmt_word">baken on the coals</span> [Heb. <span class="accented">a</span> <span class="accented">cake of stones</span>, or <span class="accented">coals</span>. <span class="accented">LXX</span>. <span class="greek">ἐγκρυφίας</span>.
