H256
And Ahab
H5046 [H8686]
told
H348
Jezebel
H452
all that Elijah
H6213 [H8804]
had done
H2026 [H8804]
, and how he had slain
H5030
all the prophets
H2719
with the sword.
2
H348
Then Jezebel
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H4397
a messenger
H452
to Elijah
H559 [H8800]
, saying
H430
, So let the gods
H6213 [H8799]
do
H3254 [H8686]
to me, and more
H7760 [H8799]
also, if I make
H5315
not thy life
H5315
as the life
H259
of one
H4279
of them by to morrow
H6256
about this time.
3
H7200 [H8799]
And when he saw
H6965 [H8799]
that, he arose
H3212 [H8799]
, and went
H5315
for his life
H935 [H8799]
, and came
H884
to Beersheba
H3063
, which belongeth to Judah
H3240 [H8686]
, and left
H5288
his servant there.
4
H1980 [H8804]
But he himself went
H3117
a day's
H1870
journey
H4057
into the wilderness
H935 [H8799]
, and came
H3427 [H8799]
and sat down
H259
under a
H7574
juniper tree
H7592 [H8799]
: and he requested
H5315
for himself
H4191 [H8800]
that he might die
H559 [H8799]
; and said
H7227
, It is enough
H3068
; now, O LORD
H3947 [H8798]
, take away
H5315
my life
H2896
; for I am not better
H1
than my fathers.
5
H7901 [H8799]
And as he lay
H3462 [H8799]
and slept
H259
under a
H7574
juniper tree
H4397
, behold, then an angel
H5060 [H8802]
touched
H559 [H8799]
him, and said
H6965 [H8798]
to him, Arise
H398 [H8798]
and eat.
6
H5027 [H8686]
And he looked
H5692
, and, behold, there was a cake
H7529
baked on the coals
H6835
, and a cruse
H4325
of water
H4763
at his head
H398 [H8799]
. And he ate
H8354 [H8799]
and drank
H7901 [H8799]
, and laid himself down
H7725 [H8799]
again.
7
H4397
And the angel
H3068
of the LORD
H7725 [H8799]
came again
H8145
the second time
H5060 [H8799]
, and touched
H559 [H8799]
him, and said
H6965 [H8798]
, Arise
H398 [H8798]
and eat
H1870
; because the journey
H7227
is too great for thee.
8
H6965 [H8799]
And he arose
H398 [H8799]
, and ate
H8354 [H8799]
and drank
H3212 [H8799]
, and went
H3581
in the strength
H396
of that food
H705
forty
H3117
days
H705
and forty
H3915
nights
H2722
to Horeb
H2022
the mount
H430
of God.
9
H935 [H8799]
And he came
H4631
there to a cave
H3885 [H8799]
, and lodged
H1697
there; and, behold, the word
H3068
of the LORD
H559 [H8799]
came to him, and he said
H452
to him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
10
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H7065 [H8763]
, I have been very
H7065 [H8765]
jealous
H3068
for the LORD
H430
God
H6635
of hosts
H1121
: for the children
H3478
of Israel
H5800 [H8804]
have forsaken
H1285
thy covenant
H2040 [H8804]
, thrown down
H4196
thy altars
H2026 [H8804]
, and slain
H5030
thy prophets
H2719
with the sword
H3498 [H8735]
; and I, I only, am left
H1245 [H8762]
; and they seek
H5315
my life
H3947 [H8800]
, to take it away.
11
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H3318 [H8798]
, Go forth
H5975 [H8804]
, and stand
H2022
upon the mount
H6440
before
H3068
the LORD
H3068
. And, behold, the LORD
H5674 [H8802]
passed by
H1419
, and a great
H2389
and strong
H7307
wind
H6561 [H8764]
rent
H2022
the mountains
H7665 [H8764]
, and broke in pieces
H5553
the rocks
H6440
before
H3068
the LORD
H3068
; but the LORD
H7307
was not in the wind
H310
: and after
H7307
the wind
H7494
an earthquake
H3068
; but the LORD
H7494
was not in the earthquake:
12
H310
And after
H7494
the earthquake
H784
a fire
H3068
; but the LORD
H784
was not in the fire
H310
: and after
H784
the fire
H1827
a still
H1851
small
H6963
voice.
13
H452
And it was so, when Elijah
H8085 [H8800]
heard
H3874 [H8686]
it, that he wrapped
H6440
his face
H155
in his mantle
H3318 [H8799]
, and went out
H5975 [H8799]
, and stood
H6607
in the entrance
H4631
of the cave
H6963
. And, behold, there came a voice
H559 [H8799]
to him, and said
H452
, What doest thou here, Elijah?
14
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H7065 [H8763]
, I have been very
H7065 [H8765]
jealous
H3068
for the LORD
H430
God
H6635
of hosts
H1121
: because the children
H3478
of Israel
H5800 [H8804]
have forsaken
H1285
thy covenant
H2040 [H8804]
, thrown down
H4196
thy altars
H2026 [H8804]
, and slain
H5030
thy prophets
H2719
with the sword
H3498 [H8735]
; and I, I only, am left
H1245 [H8762]
; and they seek
H5315
my life
H3947 [H8800]
, to take it away.
15
H3068
And the LORD
H559 [H8799]
said
H3212 [H8798]
to him, Go
H7725 [H8798]
, return
H1870
on thy way
H4057
to the wilderness
H1834
of Damascus
H935 [H8804]
: and when thou comest
H4886 [H8804]
, anoint
H2371
Hazael
H4428
to be king
H758
over Syria:
16
H3058
And Jehu
H1121
the son
H5250
of Nimshi
H4886 [H8799]
shalt thou anoint
H4428
to be king
H3478
over Israel
H477
: and Elisha
H1121
the son
H8202
of Shaphat
H65
of Abelmeholah
H4886 [H8799]
shalt thou anoint
H5030
to be prophet in thy stead.
17
H4422 [H8737]
And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth
H2719
the sword
H2371
of Hazael
H3058
shall Jehu
H4191 [H8686]
slay
H4422 [H8737]
: and him that escapeth
H2719
from the sword
H3058
of Jehu
H477
shall Elisha
H4191 [H8686]
slay.
18
H7604 [H8689]
Yet I have left
H7651
to me seven
H505
thousand
H3478
in Israel
H1290
, all the knees
H3766 [H8804]
which have not bowed
H1168
to Baal
H6310
, and every mouth
H5401 [H8804]
which hath not kissed him.
19
H3212 [H8799]
So he departed
H4672 [H8799]
from there, and found
H477
Elisha
H1121
the son
H8202
of Shaphat
H2790 [H8802]
, who was plowing
H8147 H6240
with twelve
H6776
yoke
H6440
of oxen before
H8147 H6240
him, and he with the twelfth
H452
: and Elijah
H5674 [H8799]
passed
H7993 [H8686]
by him, and cast
H155
his mantle upon him.
20
H5800 [H8799]
And he left
H1241
the oxen
H7323 [H8799]
, and ran
H310
after
H452
Elijah
H559 [H8799]
, and said
H5401 [H8799]
, Let me, I pray thee, kiss
H1
my father
H517
and my mother
H3212 H310 [H8799]
, and then I will follow
H559 [H8799]
thee. And he said
H3212 [H8798]
to him, Go back
H7725 [H8798]
again
H6213 [H8804]
: for what have I done to thee?
21
H7725 [H8799]
And he returned back
H310
from him
H3947 [H8799]
, and took
H6776
a yoke
H1241
of oxen
H2076 [H8799]
, and slew
H1310 [H8765]
them, and boiled
H1320
their flesh
H3627
with the instruments
H1241
of the oxen
H5414 [H8799]
, and gave
H5971
to the people
H398 [H8799]
, and they ate
H6965 [H8799]
. Then he arose
H3212 [H8799]
, and went
H310
after
H452
Elijah
H8334 [H8762]
, and ministered to him.
