King James Version
1 Kings 19:13-21
13And it was so, when ElijahH452 heardH8085 it, that he wrappedH3874 his faceH6440 in his mantleH155, and went outH3318, and stoodH5975 in the entering inH6607 of the caveH4631. And, behold, there came a voiceH6963 unto him, and saidH559, What doest thou here, ElijahH452? 14And he saidH559, I have been veryH7065 jealousH7065 for the LordH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635: because the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have forsakenH5800 thy covenantH1285, thrown downH2040 thine altarsH4196, and slainH2026 thy prophetsH5030 with the swordH2719; and I, even I only, am leftH3498; and they seekH1245 my lifeH5315, to take it awayH3947. 15And the LordH3068 saidH559 unto him, GoH3212, returnH7725 on thy wayH1870 to the wildernessH4057 of DamascusH1834: and when thou comestH935, anointH4886 HazaelH2371 to be kingH4428 over SyriaH758: 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.1 17And it shall come to pass, that him that escapethH4422 the swordH2719 of HazaelH2371 shall JehuH3058 slayH4191: and him that escapethH4422 from the swordH2719 of JehuH3058 shall ElishaH477 slayH4191. 18Yet I have leftH7604 me sevenH7651 thousandH505 in IsraelH3478, all the kneesH1290 which have not bowedH3766 unto BaalH1168, and every mouthH6310 which hath not kissedH5401 him.2
19So he departedH3212 thence, and foundH4672 ElishaH477 the sonH1121 of ShaphatH8202, who was plowingH2790 with twelveH6240H8147 yokeH6776 of oxen beforeH6440 him, and he with the twelfthH6240H8147: and ElijahH452 passedH5674 by him, and castH7993 his mantleH155 upon him. 20And he leftH5800 the oxenH1241, and ranH7323 afterH310 ElijahH452, and saidH559, Let me, I pray thee, kissH5401 my fatherH1 and my motherH517, and then I will followH310H3212 thee. And he saidH559 unto him, Go backH3212 againH7725: for what have I doneH6213 to thee?3 21And he returned backH7725 from himH310, and tookH3947 a yokeH6776 of oxenH1241, and slewH2076 them, and boiledH1310 their fleshH1320 with the instrumentsH3627 of the oxenH1241, and gaveH5414 unto the peopleH5971, and they did eatH398. Then he aroseH6965, and wentH3212 afterH310 ElijahH452, and ministeredH8334 unto him.
