Prophets — This name is not only given to such as are endowed with an extraordinary spirit of prophecy, but to such ministers as devoted themselves to the service of God in preaching, praying, and praising God. And fed — With the hazard of his own life, and against the king's command; as wisely considering, that no command of an earthly prince could over — rule the command of the king of kings. Bread and water — With meat and drink. See how wonderfully God raises up friends for his ministers and people where one would least expect them!
