1 Kings 19:20-21
20Then he left the oxen behind and ran after Elijah, and said, “Please 1let me kiss my father and my mother, then I will follow you.” And he said to him, “Go back, for 2what have I done to you?”
21So he returned from following him, and took the pair of oxen and sacrificed them, and 3cooked their meat with the implements of the oxen, and gave it to the people and they ate. Then he got up and followed Elijah and served him.
