1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done and how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, "So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I don't make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time."
3 And when Elijah considered that, he arose and fled for his life and came to Beersheba which belongs to Judah and left his servant there.
4 But Elijah went a day's journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a juniper tree, and he requested that he would die and said, "It is enough now, Jehovah, take away my life for I am not better than my fathers."
5 And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, an angel touched him and said to him, "Arise and eat."
6 And he looked, and there was a cake baked on the coals and a jar of water at his head. And he ate and drank and laid down again.
7 And the angel of Jehovah came again a second time and touched him and said, "Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you."
8 Elijah arose and ate and drank and walked in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mountain of God.
9 He came to a cave and lodged there. The word of Jehovah came to him, and He said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
10 And Elijah said, "I have been very zealous for Jehovah God of hosts, for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, thrown down Your altars, and slain Your prophets with the sword; and I'm the only one remaining, and they seek to take my life."
11 And Jehovah said, "Go out and stand on the mountain before Jehovah." And, Jehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke the rocks in pieces before Jehovah, but Jehovah was not in the wind. And after the wind an Earthquake, but Jehovah was not in the Earthquake.
12 And after the Earthquake a fire, but Jehovah was not in the fire. And after the fire a still small voice.
13 Elijah listened in obedience, wrapping his face in his mantle. And he went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. And, a Voice came to him, and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
14 And Elijah said, "I have been very zealous for Jehovah God of hosts because the children of Israel have forsaken Your Covenant, thrown down Your altars, and slain Your prophets with the sword; and I'm the only one remaining, and they seek to take my life."
15 Jehovah said to him, "Go, return on your way to the desert of Damascus, and when you come, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria.
16 Anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel. Anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah to be prophet in your room.
17 And it shall come to pass, that him who escapes the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him who escapes from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha place.
18 Yet I have left seven thousand in Israel whose knees have not bowed to Baal whose mouths have not kissed him."
19 So he departed from there 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 beg you to kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you." And he said to him, "Go back again, for what have I done to you?"
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 to the people, and they did eat. Then he arose and went after Elijah and served him.
