1 Kings 19:16-21

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.

19So he departed thence, and foundH4672 ElishaH477 the sonH1121 of ShaphatH8202, who was plowingH2790, with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and ElijahH452 passedH5674 over unto him, and castH7993 his mantle upon him. 20And he leftH5800 the oxenH1241, and ranH7323 after ElijahH452, and saidH559, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my fatherH1 and my motherH517, and then I will follow thee. And he saidH559 unto him, GoH7725 backH7725 again; for what have I done to thee? 21And he returnedH7725 from following him, and tookH3947 the yoke of oxenH1241, and slew them, and boiledH1310 their fleshH1320 with the instrumentsH3627 of the oxenH1241, and gaveH5414 unto the peopleH5971, and they did eatH398. Then he aroseH6965, and wentH7725 after ElijahH452, and ministered unto him.
