1
Now Ahab
told
Jezebel
all
that Elijah
had done,
and how
he had killed
all
the prophets
with the sword.
2
Then Jezebel
sent
a messenger
to Elijah,
saying,
"So
may the gods
do
to me and even
more,
if
I
do
not make
your life
as the life
of one
of them by tomorrow
about this time."
3
And he was afraid
and arose
and ran
for his life
and came
to Beersheba,
which
belongs to Judah,
and left
his servant
there.
4
But he himself
went
a day's
journey
into the wilderness,
and came
and sat down
under
a juniper tree;
and he requested
for himself
that he might die,
and said,
"It is enough;
now,
O LORD,
take
my life,
for I am not better
than
my fathers."
5
He lay down
and slept
under
a juniper tree;
and behold,
there
was an angel
touching
him, and he said
to him, "Arise,
eat."
6
Then he looked
and behold,
there was at his head
a bread cake
baked on hot stones,
and a jar
of water.
So he ate
and drank
and lay down
again.
7
The angel
of the LORD
came again
a second time
and touched
him and said,
"Arise,
eat,
because
the journey
is too
great
for you."
8
So he arose
and ate
and drank,
and went
in the strength
of that food
forty
days
and
forty
nights
to Horeb,
the mountain
of God.
9
Then he came
there
to a cave
and lodged
there
;
and behold,
the word
of the LORD
came to him, and He said
to him, "What
are you doing here,
Elijah?"
10
He said,
"I have been
very zealous
for the LORD,
the God
of hosts;
for the sons
of Israel
have forsaken
Your covenant,
torn down
Your altars
and killed
Your prophets
with the sword.
And I alone
am left;
and they seek
my life,
to take
it away."
11
So He said,
"Go forth
and stand
on the mountain
before
the LORD
."
And behold,
the LORD
was passing
by! And a great
and strong
wind
was rending
the mountains
and breaking in pieces
the rocks
before
the LORD
;
but
the LORD
was not in
the
wind
.
And after
the
wind
an earthquake,
but
the LORD
was not in the earthquake.
12
After
the earthquake
a fire,
but the LORD
was not in
the fire
;
and after
the fire
a sound
of a gentle blowing.
13
When Elijah
heard
it, he wrapped
his face
in his mantle
and went
out and stood
in the entrance
of the cave.
And behold,
a voice
came to him and said,
"What
are you doing here,
Elijah?"
14
Then he said,
"I have been
very zealous
for the LORD,
the God
of hosts;
for the sons
of Israel
have forsaken
Your covenant,
torn down
Your altars
and killed
Your prophets
with the sword.
And I alone
am left;
and they seek
my life,
to take
it away."
15
The LORD
said
to him, "Go,
return
on your way
to the wilderness
of Damascus,
and when you have arrived,
you shall anoint
Hazael
king
over
Aram;
16
and Jehu
the son
of Nimshi
you shall anoint
king
over
Israel;
and Elisha
the son
of Shaphat
of Abel-meholah
you shall anoint
as prophet
in your place.
17
"It shall come
about, the one who escapes
from the sword
of Hazael,
Jehu
shall put
to death,
and the one who escapes
from the sword
of
Jehu
,
Elisha
shall put
to death.
18
"Yet I will leave
7,000
in Israel,
all
the knees
that have not bowed
to Baal
and every
mouth
that has not kissed
him."
19
So 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
his mantle
on him.
20
He left
the oxen
and ran
after
Elijah
and said,
"Please
let 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?"
21
So he returned
from following
him, and took
the pair
of oxen
and sacrificed
them and boiled
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.
