After the earthquake there was a fire,  but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire there was a voice, a soft whisper.

but he went on a day’s journey into the wilderness. He sat down under a broom tree  and prayed that he might die. He said, “I have had enough! LORD, take my life,  for I’m no better than my ancestors.”

Then he said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the LORD’s presence.”  At that moment, the LORD passed by.  A great and mighty wind  was tearing at the mountains and was shattering cliffs before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake,  but the LORD was not in the earthquake.

When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle  and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. Suddenly, a voice came to him and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah? ”

He entered a cave  there and spent the night. Suddenly, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah? ”

So he got up, ate, and drank. Then on the strength from that food, he walked forty days and forty nights  to Horeb, the mountain of God.

Then he lay down and slept under the broom tree. Suddenly, an angel touched him.  The angel told him, “Get up and eat.”

Then the angel of the LORD   returned for a second time and touched him. He said, “Get up and eat, or the journey will be too much for you.”

He replied, “I have been very zealous  for the LORD God of Armies, but the Israelites have abandoned your covenant,  torn down your altars,  and killed your prophets  with the sword. I alone am left,  and they are looking for me to take my life.”

Then he looked, and there at his head was a loaf of bread baked over hot stones, and a jug of water.  So he ate and drank and lay down again.

So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “May the gods punish me and do so severely  if I don’t make your life like the life of one of them by this time tomorrow! ”

But I will leave seven thousand in Israel   — every knee that has not bowed to Baal  and every mouth that has not kissed him.”

Elijah left there and found Elisha  son of Shaphat as he was plowing. Twelve teams of oxen were in front of him, and he was with the twelfth team. Elijah walked by him and threw his mantle over him.

So he turned back from following him, took the team of oxen, and slaughtered  them. With the oxen’s wooden yoke and plow,  he cooked the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he left, followed Elijah, and served him.

Elisha left the oxen, ran to follow Elijah, and said, “Please let me kiss my father and mother, and then I will follow you.”  “Go on back,” he replied, “for what have I done to you? ”
