Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 19:5

19:3 Left his servant - Because he would not expose him to those perilsand hardships which he expected: and because he desired solitude, that hemight more freely converse with God.

19:4 Into the wilderness - The vast wilderness of Arabia. He durstnot stay in Judah, tho' good Jehosaphat reigned there, because hewas allied to Ahab, and was a man of an easy temper, whom Ahab mightcircumvent, and either by force or art seize upon Elijah.It is enough - I have lived long enough for thy service, and am not liketo do thee any more service; neither my words nor works are like to do anygood upon these unstable and incorrigible people. I am not better - ThatI should continue in life, when other prophets who have gone before me,have lost their lives.

19:7 Angel of the Lord, &c. - He needed not to complain of theunkindness of men, when it was thus made up by the ministration of angels.Wherever God's children are, they are still under their father's eye.
