1 Kings 19:16-21

16and 1Jehu the son of Nimshi you shall anoint king over Israel; and 2Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place. 17It shall come about, the 3one who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu 4shall put to death, and the one who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha shall put to death. 185Yet I will leave 7,000 in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal and every mouth that has not 6kissed him.”

19So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, while he was plowing with twelve pairs of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth. And Elijah passed over to him and threw 7his mantle on him. 20He left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, “Please 8let me kiss my father and my mother, then I will follow you.” And he said to him, “Go back again, for what have I done to you?” 21So he returned from following him, and took the pair of oxen and sacrificed them and 9boiled their flesh with the implements of the oxen, and gave it to the people and they ate. Then he arose and followed Elijah and ministered to him.
