1 Kings 19:16-19

1 Kings 19:16-19 CSB

You are to anoint Jehu  son of Nimshi as king over Israel and Elisha  son of Shaphat from Abel-meholah as prophet in your place. Then Jehu will put to death whoever escapes the sword of Hazael,  and Elisha will put to death whoever escapes the sword of Jehu.  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.
