 |
| 1 Kings 19:1 |
|
And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done,
and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 19:2 |
|
Then Jezebel send a messenger unto Elijah, saying,
So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of
one of them by to-morrow about this time. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 19:3 |
|
And when he saw that, he arose, and went for
his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant
there. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 19:4 |
|
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 Jehovah, take away my life;
for I am not better than my fathers. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 19:5 |
|
And he lay down and slept under a juniper-tree;
and, behold, an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 19:6 |
|
And he looked, and, behold, there was at his
head a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water. And he did eat and drink,
and laid him down again. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 19:7 |
|
And the angel of Jehovah came again the second
time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat, because the journey is too great
for thee. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 19:8 |
|
And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went
in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount
of God. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 19:9 |
|
And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged
there; and, behold, the word of Jehovah came to him, and he said unto him, What
doest thou here, Elijah? |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 19:10 |
|
And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah,
the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown
down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword: and I, even I only,
am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 19:11 |
|
And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount
before Jehovah. And, behold, Jehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind rent
the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before Jehovah; but Jehovah was not
in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but Jehovah was not in the earthquake:
|
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 19:12 |
|
and after the earthquake a fire; but Jehovah
was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 19:13 |
|
And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he
wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the
cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here,
Elijah? |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 19:14 |
|
And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah,
the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown
down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only,
am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 19:15 |
|
And Jehovah said unto him, Go, return on thy
way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, thou shalt anoint Hazael
to be king over Syria; |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 19:16 |
|
and Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint
to be king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou
anoint to be prophet in thy room. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 19:17 |
|
And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth
from the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth from the sword
of Jehu shall Elisha slay. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 19:18 |
|
Yet will I leave me seven thousand in Israel,
all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed
him. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 19:19 |
|
So he departed thence, and found Elisha the
son of Shaphat, who was plowing, with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with
the twelfth: and Elijah passed over unto him, and cast his mantle upon him. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 19:20 |
|
And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah,
and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow
thee. And he said unto him, Go back again; for what have I done to thee? |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 19:21 |
|
And he returned from following him, and took
the yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of
the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went
after Elijah, and ministered unto him. |
