New Living Translation
1 Kings 19:16-19
16Then anoint Jehu grandson of Nimshi to be king of Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from the town of Abel-meholah to replace you as my prophet.
17Anyone who escapes from Hazael will be killed by Jehu, and those who escape Jehu will be killed by Elisha!
18Yet I will preserve 7,000 others in Israel who have never bowed down to Baal or kissed him!”
19So Elijah went and found Elisha son of Shaphat plowing a field. There were twelve teams of oxen in the field, and Elisha was plowing with the twelfth team. Elijah went over to him and threw his cloak across his shoulders and then walked away.
