Then the Lord passed by, and a great wind tore the rocks and the
mountains, and there was a great earthquake; but the Lord was not in
the earthquake nor in the fire that came afterwards; and then there was
a still, low voice. And when Elijah heard that voice, he wrapped his
face in his mantle and went out and stood by the mouth of the cave.
Then the voice spoke to him again: "What doest thou here, Elijah?" And
again Elijah said that he was the only Prophet left!
But the Lord told him that He had seven thousand Israelites who had
served Him faithfully, and had never bowed down to Baal!
Then the Lord told him to go and anoint two kings; and also to anoint
Elisha, the son of Shaphat, as a Prophet instead of himself.
So Elijah went to Abelmeholah, and found Elisha ploughing in the
fields; and as he passed by him, he cast his mantle upon him.
Then Elisha left his oxen and ran after him, and said: "Let me go and
kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee!"
