And AhabH256 toldH5046 JezebelH348 allH3605 that ElijahH452 had done,H6213 and withH834 H3605 howH834 he had slainH2026 allH3605 the prophetsH5030 with the sword.H2719
2
Then JezebelH348 sentH7971 a messengerH4397 to Elijah,H452 saying,H559 SoH3541 let the godsH430 doH6213 to me, and moreH3254 also,H3541 if I makeH7760 not your lifeH5315 as the lifeH5315 of oneH259 of them by to morrowH4279 about this time.H6256
3
And when he sawH7200 that, he arose,H6965 and wentH3212 for his life,H5315 and cameH935 to Beersheba,H884 whichH834 belongs to Judah,H3063 and leftH5117 his servantH5288 there.H8033
4
But he himselfH1931 wentH1980 a day'sH3117 journeyH1870 into the wilderness,H4057 and cameH935 and satH3427 down underH8478 a juniperH7574 tree: and he requestedH7592 for himselfH5315 that he might die;H4191 and said,H559 It is enough;H7227 now,H6258 O LORD,H3068 takeH3947 away my life;H5315 for I am not betterH2896 than my fathers.H1
5
And as he layH7901 and sleptH3462 underH8478 a juniperH7574 tree, behold,H2009 then an angelH4397 touchedH5060 him, and saidH559 to him, AriseH6965 and eat.H398
6
And he looked,H5027 and, behold,H2009 there was a cakeH5692 baked on the coals,H7529 and a cruseH6835 of waterH4325 at his head.H4763 And he did eatH398 and drink,H8354 and laidH7901 him downH7901 again.H7725
7
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 cameH7725 againH7725 the secondH8145 time, and touchedH5060 him, and said,H559 AriseH6965 and eat;H398 becauseH3588 the journeyH1870 is too greatH7227 for you.
8
And he arose,H6965 and did eatH398 and drink,H8354 and wentH3212 in the strengthH3581 of that meatH396 fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915 to HorebH2722 the mountH2022 of God.H430
9
And he cameH935 thitherH8033 to a cave,H4631 and lodgedH3885 there;H8033 and, behold,H2009 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to him, and he saidH559 to him, WhatH4100 do you here,H6311 Elijah?H452
10
And he said,H559 I have been very jealousH7065 for the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hosts:H6635 for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have forsakenH5800 your covenant,H1285 thrownH2040 downH2040 your altars,H4196 and slainH2026 your prophetsH5030 with the sword;H2719 and I, even I only,H905 am left;H3498 and they seekH1245 my life,H5315 to takeH3947 it away.
11
And he said,H559 GoH3318 forth,H3318 and standH5975 on the mountH2022 beforeH6440 the LORD.H3068 And, behold,H2009 the LORDH3068 passedH5674 by, and a greatH1419 and strongH2389 windH7307 rentH6561 the mountains,H2022 and brokeH7665 in pieces the rocksH5553 beforeH6440 the LORD;H3068 but the LORDH3068 was not in the wind:H7307 and afterH310 the windH7307 an earthquake;H7494 but the LORDH3068 was not in the earthquake:H7494
12
And afterH310 the earthquakeH7494 a fire;H784 but the LORDH3068 was not in the fire:H784 and afterH310 the fireH784 a stillH1827 smallH1851 voice.H6963
13
And it was so, when ElijahH452 heardH8085 it, that he wrappedH3874 his faceH6440 in his mantle,H155 and wentH3318 out, and stoodH5975 in the enteringH6607 in of the cave.H4631 And, behold,H2009 there cameH1961 a voiceH6963 to him, and said,H559 WhatH4100 do you here,H6311 Elijah?H452
14
And he said,H559 I have been very jealousH7065 for the LORDH3068 GodH430 of hosts:H6635 becauseH3588 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 have forsakenH5800 your covenant,H1285 thrownH2040 downH2040 your altars,H4196 and slainH2026 your prophetsH5030 with the sword;H2719 and I, even I only,H905 am left;H3498 and they seekH1245 my life,H5315 to takeH3947 it away.
15
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to him, Go,H3212 returnH7725 on your wayH1870 to the wildernessH4057 of Damascus:H1834 and when you come,H935 anointH4886 HazaelH2371 to be kingH4428 overH5921 Syria:H758
16
And JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250 shall you anointH4886 to be kingH4428 overH5921 Israel:H3478 and ElishaH477 the sonH1121 of ShaphatH8202 of AbelmeholahH65 shall you anointH4886 to be prophetH5030 in your room.H8478
17
And it shall comeH1961 to pass, that him that escapesH4422 the swordH2719 of HazaelH2371 shall JehuH3058 slay:H4191 and him that escapesH4422 from the swordH2719 of JehuH3058 shall ElishaH477 slay.H4191
18
Yet I have leftH7604 me sevenH7651 thousandH505 in Israel,H3478 allH3605 the kneesH1290 whichH834 have not bowedH3766 to Baal,H1168 and everyH3605 mouthH6310 whichH834 has not kissedH5401 him.
19
So he departedH3212 there,H8033 and foundH4672 ElishaH477 the sonH1121 of Shaphat,H8202 whoH1931 was plowingH2790 with twelveH8147 H6240 yokeH6776 of oxen beforeH6440 him, and he with the twelfth:H8147 H6240 and ElijahH452 passedH5674 by him, and castH7993 his mantleH155 on him.
20
And he leftH5800 the oxen,H1241 and ranH7323 afterH310 Elijah,H452 and said,H559 Let me, I prayH4994 you, kissH5401 my fatherH1 and my mother,H517 and then I will followH3212 H310 you. And he saidH559 to him, GoH3212 backH7725 again:H7725 for whatH4100 have I doneH6213 to you?
21
And he returnedH7725 backH7725 from him, and tookH3947 a yokeH6776 of oxen,H1241 and slewH2076 them, and boiledH1310 their fleshH1320 with the instrumentsH3627 of the oxen,H1241 and gaveH5414 to the people,H5971 and they did eat.H398 Then he arose,H6965 and wentH3212 afterH310 Elijah,H452 and ministeredH8334 to him.
