1 Kings 19:16-21

16 and ^aJehu the son of Nimshi you shall anoint king over Israel; and ^bElisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place. 17 “It shall come about, the ^cone who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu ^dshall put to death, and the one who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha shall put to death. 18 ^e“Yet I will leave 7,000 in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal and every mouth that has not ^fkissed him.”

19 So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, while he was plowing with twelve pairs of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth. And Elijah passed over to him and threw ^ghis mantle on him. 20 He left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, “Please ^hlet me kiss my father and my mother, then I will follow you.” And he said to him, “Go back again, for what have I done to you?” 21 So he returned from following him, and took the pair of oxen and sacrificed them and ⁱboiled their flesh with the implements of the oxen, and gave it to the people and they ate. Then he arose and followed Elijah and ministered to him.
