19:1 Ahab
told
Jezebel
all
that
Elijah
had
done,
and
how
he
had
killed
all
the
prophets
with
the
sword.
19:2 Then
Jezebel
sent
a
messenger
to
Elijah,
saying,
"So
may
the
gods
do
to
me
and
more
also,
if
I
do
not
make
your
life
as
the
life
of
one
of
them
by
this
time
tomorrow."
19:3 Then
he
was
afraid,
and
he
arose
and
ran
for
his
life
and
came
to
Beersheba,
which
belongs
to
Judah,
and
left
his
servant
there.
19:4 But
he
himself
went
a
day's
journey
into
the
wilderness
and
came
and
sat
down
under
a
broom
tree.
And
he
asked
that
he
might
die,
saying,
"It
is
enough;
now,
O
LORD,
take
away
my
life,
for
I
am
no
better
than
my
fathers."
19:5 And
he
lay
down
and
slept
under
a
broom
tree.
And
behold,
an
angel
touched
him
and
said
to
him,
"Arise
and
eat."
19:6 And
he
looked,
and
behold,
there
was
at
his
head
a
cake
baked
on
hot
stones
and
a
jar
of
water.
And
he
ate
and
drank
and
lay
down
again.
19:7 And
the
angel
of
the
LORD
came
again
a
second
time
and
touched
him
and
said,
"Arise
and
eat,
for
the
journey
is
too
great
for
you."
19:8 And
he
arose
and
ate
and
drank,
and
went
in
the
strength
of
that
food
forty
days
and
forty
nights
to
Horeb,
the
mount
of
God.
19:9 There
he
came
to
a
cave
and
lodged
in
it.
And
behold,
the
word
of
the
LORD
came
to
him,
and
he
said
to
him,
"What
are
you
doing
here,
Elijah"
19:10 He
said,
"I
have
been
very
jealous
for
the
LORD,
the
God
of
hosts.
For
the
people
of
Israel
have
forsaken
your
covenant,
thrown
down
your
altars,
and
killed
your
prophets
with
the
sword,
and
I,
even
I
only,
am
left,
and
they
seek
my
life,
to
take
it
away."
19:11 And
he
said,
"Go
out
and
stand
on
the
mount
before
the
LORD."
And
behold,
the
LORD
passed
by,
and
a
great
and
strong
wind
tore
the
mountains
and
broke
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.
19:12 And
after
the
earthquake
a
fire,
but
the
LORD
was
not
in
the
fire.
And
after
the
fire
the
sound
of
a
low
whisper.
19:13 And
when
Elijah
heard
it,
he
wrapped
his
face
in
his
cloak
and
went
out
and
stood
at
the
entrance
of
the
cave.
And
behold,
there
came
a
voice
to
him
and
said,
"What
are
you
doing
here,
Elijah"
19:14 He
said,
"I
have
been
very
jealous
for
the
LORD,
the
God
of
hosts.
For
the
people
of
Israel
have
forsaken
your
covenant,
thrown
down
your
altars,
and
killed
your
prophets
with
the
sword,
and
I,
even
I
only,
am
left,
and
they
seek
my
life,
to
take
it
away."
19:15 And
the
LORD
said
to
him,
"Go,
return
on
your
way
to
the
wilderness
of
Damascus.
And
when
you
arrive,
you
shall
anoint
Hazael
to
be
king
over
Syria.
19:16 And
Jehu
the
son
of
Nimshi
you
shall
anoint
to
be
king
over
Israel,
and
Elisha
the
son
of
Shaphat
of
Abel-meholah
you
shall
anoint
to
be
prophet
in
your
place.
19:17 And
the
one
who
escapes
from
the
sword
of
Hazael
shall
Jehu
put
to
death,
and
the
one
who
escapes
from
the
sword
of
Jehu
shall
Elisha
put
to
death.
19:18 Yet
I
will
leave
seven
thousand
in
Israel,
all
the
knees
that
have
not
bowed
to
Baal,
and
every
mouth
that
has
not
kissed
him."
19:19 So
he
departed
from
there
and
found
Elisha
the
son
of
Shaphat,
who
was
plowing
with
twelve
yoke
of
oxen
in
front
of
him,
and
he
was
with
the
twelfth.
Elijah
passed
by
him
and
cast
his
cloak
upon
him.
19:20 And
he
left
the
oxen
and
ran
after
Elijah
and
said,
"Let
me
kiss
my
father
and
my
mother,
and
then
I
will
follow
you."
And
he
said
to
him,
"Go
back
again,
for
what
have
I
done
to
you"
19:21 And
he
returned
from
following
him
and
took
the
yoke
of
oxen
and
sacrificed
them
and
boiled
their
flesh
with
the
yokes
of
the
oxen
and
gave
it
to
the
people,
and
they
ate.
Then
he
arose
and
went
after
Elijah
and
assisted
him.
