1 Kings 19:13-17

13And it wasH1961 so, when ElijahH452 heardH8085 it, that he wrapped his faceH6440 in his mantle, and wentH3318 out, and stoodH5975 in the entranceH6607 of the caveH4631. And, behold, there came a voiceH6963 unto him, and saidH559, What doest thou hereH6311, ElijahH452? 14And he saidH559, I have been very jealousH7065 for Jehovah, the GodH430 of hostsH6635; for the children of IsraelH3478 have forsaken thy covenantH1285, thrown downH2040 thine altarsH4196, and slainH2026 thy prophetsH5030 with the swordH2719; and I, even I onlyH905, am leftH3498; and they seekH1245 my lifeH5315, to takeH3947 it awayH3947.

15And Jehovah saidH559 unto him, GoH935, returnH7725 on thy wayH1870 to the wildernessH4057 of DamascusH1834: and when thou comest, thou shalt anointH4886 HazaelH2371 to be kingH4428 over Syria; 16and JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250 shalt thou anointH4886 to be kingH4428 over IsraelH3478; and ElishaH477 the sonH1121 of ShaphatH8202 of Abel-meholahH65 shalt thou anointH4886 to be prophetH5030 in thy room. 17And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth from the swordH2719 of HazaelH2371 shall JehuH3058 slay; and him that escapeth from the swordH2719 of JehuH3058 shall ElishaH477 slay.
