1 Kings 19:11-18
11And he saidH559, Go forthH3318, and standH5975 upon the mountH2022 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068. And, behold, YhwhH3068 passed byH5674, and a greatH1419 and strongH2389 windH7307 rentH6561 the mountainsH2022, and brake in piecesH7665 the rocksH5553 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068; but YhwhH3068 was not in the windH7307: and afterH310 the windH7307 an earthquakeH7494; but YhwhH3068 was not in the earthquakeH7494:
12And afterH310 the earthquakeH7494 a fireH784; but YhwhH3068 was not in the fireH784: and afterH310 the fireH784 a stillH1827 smallH1851 voiceH6963.
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 YhwhH3068 GodH430 of ArmiesH6635: 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 YhwhH3068 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
