11:019:011 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:
11:019:012 And after the earthquake a fire; but the
lord was not in the
fire:
and after the fire a still small voice.
11:019:013 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?
11:019:014 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.
11:019:015 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:
11:019:016 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.
11:019:017 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.
11:019:018 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.
11:019:019 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.
11:019:020 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?
11:019:021 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.
11:020:001 And Benhadad the king of Syria gathered
all his host together:
and
there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses,
and
chariots;
and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred
against
it.
