AND Ach'av told Iyzebel את all that Eliyahu had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
Then Iyzebel sent a messenger unto Eliyahu, saying, So let the elohiym do to me, and more also, if I make not your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.
And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Be'er Sheva, which belongs to Yahudah, and left his servant there.
But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O Yahuah, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.
And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.
And the angel of Yahuah came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for you.
And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Chorev the Mount of Elohiym.
And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the Word of Yahuah came to him, and he said unto him, What do you here, Eliyahu?
And he said, I have been very jealous for Yahuah Elohai Tseva'oth: for the children of Yashar'el have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before Yahuah. And, behold, Yahuah passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before Yahuah; but Yahuah was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but Yahuah was not in the earthquake:
And after the earthquake a fire; but Yahuah was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
And it was so, when Eliyahu heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What do you here, Eliyahu?
And he said, I have been very jealous for Yahuah Elohai Tseva'oth: because the children of Yashar'el have forsaken your covenant, thrown down altars, and slain your prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
And Yahuah said unto him, Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when you come, anoint Chaza'el to be king over Aram:
And Yahu the son of Nimshiy shall you anoint to be king over Yashar'el: and Eliysha the son of Shaphat of Avel Mecholah shall you anoint to be prophet in your room.
And it shall come to pass, that him that escapes the sword of Chaza'el shall Yahu slay: and him that escapes from the sword of Yahu shall Eliysha slay.
Yet I have left me seven thousand in Yashar'el, all the knees which have not bowed unto Ba`al, and every mouth which has not kissed him.
So he departed thence, and found Eliysha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Eliyahu passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.
And he left the oxen, and ran after Eliyahu, and said, Let me, I pray you, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to you?
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 unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Eliyahu, and ministered unto him.
