1 Kings 19:14-18

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. 18Yet will I leaveH7604 me sevenH7651 thousandH505 in IsraelH3478, all the knees which have not bowedH3766 unto BaalH1168, and every mouthH6310 which hath not kissedH5401 him.
