RF KI1 19:1 Ahab Consults with Jesabel.
But Akhab informed Aisebel of all that Eliah had done, and how he had slain all her Preachers by the sword;
RF KI1 19:2 therefore Aisebel sent a messenger to Eliah to say, "May the gods do so to me, and add to it,—if your life shall not be like the life of one of them by to-morrow at this time!"
RF KI1 19:3 Then he was afraid, and rose, and went for his life, and arrived at Bersheba, belonging to Judah, and left his attendant there;
RF KI1 19:4 he, however, went a day's journey into the desert, and sat under a broom-tree, and asked for his life to die, and said, "It is enough now, EVER-LIVING; take my life, for I am not better than my fathers."
RF KI1 19:5 Then he lay down and slept under the broom-tree, and saw there a messenger touching him, and saying to him, "Arise and eat!"
RF KI1 19:6 When he looked, he saw at his head baked cakes and a cruse of water, and he ate and drank, and rested, and slept.
RF KI1 19:7 The Messenger of the EVER-LIVING, however, returned a second time and touched him and said, "Arise, and eat! for the journey is too much for you."
RF KI1 19:8 So he arose and ate and drank, and travelled upon that food forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of the EVER-LIVING,
RF KI1 19:9 and went into a cave there, and lodged in it, when the message of the EVER-LIVING came to him and asked, "What do you here, Eliah?"
RF KI1 19:10 And he replied, "I have been very zealous for the EVER-LIVING GOD of MIGHT; for the Children of Israel have forsaken Your Covenant,—thrown down Your Altars,—and have slain Your preachers with the sword,—and I alone am left,—and they seek my life to take it!"
RF KI1 19:11 But it was answered, "Go out, and station yourself upon the Hill in the presence of the EVER-LIVING, and see the EVER-LIVING pass."
Then a great and mighty wind tore the hills, and shivered the crags before the EVER-LIVING.
The EVER-LIVING was not in the Wind! And after the Wind,—an Earthquake.
The EVER-LIVING was not in the Earthquake.
RF KI1 19:12 And after the Earthquake a Fire. The EVER-LIVING was not in the Fire. And after the Fire a STILL SMALL VOICE.
RF KI1 19:13 And when Eliah heard that he covered his face with his mantle, and went and stationed himself at the opening of the cave, and the VOICE addressed him and asked "What do you here, Eliah?"
RF KI1 19:14 When he answered, "I have been very zealous for the EVER-LIVING, the GOD of MIGHT; for the Children of Israel have forsaken Your Covenant,—thrown down Your Altars; and have slain Your preachers with the sword; and I alone am left,—and they seek my life to take it!"
RF KI1 19:15 The EVER-LIVING, however, replied to him, "Turn your journey to the Desert of Damascus, and go and consecrate Hazal king over Aram;
RF KI1 19:16 and Jehu king over Israel; and Alisha-ben-Shafat of Abal-makholah, consecrate as preacher after you;
RF KI1 19:17 and then whoever escapes from the sword of Hazal, Jehu will kill, and whoever escapes from the sword of Jehu, Alisha will kill.—
RF KI1 19:18 However, there are left to Me in Israel seven thousand, all of whose knees have not bent to Bal, and all of whose lips have not kissed him."
RF KI1 19:19 (B.C. 906.) Consecration of Alisha.
He consequently went from there and found Alisha-ben-Shafat, who was ploughing with twelve sets of oxen in his presence, but he was with the twelfth set, and Eliah went over to him and threw his own mantle upon him.
RF KI1 19:20 So he left the oxen and ran after Eliah, and said "I will bid good-bye to my father and mother,—then I will follow you." But he replied to him, "Go back—what have I done to you?"
RF KI1 19:21 So he turned from following, and took the set of oxen and sacrificed them, and boiled the flesh with the implements of the oxen, and gave it to the people, and they feasted. Then he arose and went after Eliah and attended him.
