And whanne he cam, and sat vndir o iunypere tre, he axide to his soule, that he schulde die; and he seide, Lord, it suffisith to me, take my soule; for Y am not betere than my fadris. 5 And he castide forth hym silf, and slepte in the schadewe of the iunypere tree.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he arose, and did eat and drink,.... Of what was left of the cake and cruse of water, before provided for him:
and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God; for so long he was going to that place, though it might have been gone in three or four days; but he went in byways, and wandered about in the wilderness, as the Israelites did, and that for the space of forty days, as they did near forty years; and all this while he had no other sustenance than what he had taken under the juniper tree, from whence he set out, which must be supernatural; for it is said t, a man cannot live without food beyond seven days, :- the food either staying in his stomach all this while, or however the nutritive virtue of it, by which he was supported, and held out till he came to Horeb or Sinai; called the mount of the Lord, because here he had appeared to Moses in the bush, and from hence gave the law to the children of Israel. Abarbinel is of opinion that this term of forty days was consumed in his whole journey to Horeb, his stay there, and return to the land of Israel.
t Macrob. in Soma Scipion. l. 1. c. 6.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The old commentators generally understood this to mean that Elijah had no other food at all, and compared this long fast with that of Moses and that of our Lord (marginal references). But the words do not exclude the notion of the prophet’s having obtained such nourishment from roots and fruits as the desert offers to a wanderer, though these alone would not have sustained him.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 19:8. Forty days and forty nights — So he fasted just the same time as Moses did at Horeb, and as Christ did in the wilderness.
