                                   Chapter 19


  1. And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal
     how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.

  2. Then Jezebel sent 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.

  3. And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and
     came to Beersheba, which belongeth 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 away my life; for I am not better than my
     fathers.

  5. And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then
     an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.

  6. And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the
     coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and
     drink, and laid him down again.

  7. And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and
     touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is
     too great for thee.

  8. And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the
     strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb
     the mount of God.

  9. And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and,
     behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto
     him, What doest thou here, Elijah?

 10. And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD 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.

 11. And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the
     LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and
     strong wind rent the mountains, and brake 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. And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the
     fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

 13. And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his
     face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering
     in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him,
     and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?

 14. And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of
     hosts: because 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.

 15. And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the
     wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael
     to be king over Syria:

 16. And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over
     Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt
     thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.

 17. And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword
     of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the
     sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.

 18. Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees
     which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath
     not kissed him.

 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 by him, and cast his
     mantle upon him.

 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?

 21. And he returned back from him, and took a 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.
