1 Kings 19:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ He answered, “Lord God ·All-Powerful [of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts], I have ·always served you as well as I could [been very zealous for you]. But the ·people [^Lsons; ^Tchildren] of Israel have ·broken [abandoned; forsaken] their ·agreement [covenant; treaty] with you, ·destroyed [torn down] your altars, and killed your prophets with swords. I ·am the only prophet [alone am] left, and now they ·are trying to kill me [seek my life], too.”

¹⁵ The Lord said to him, “Go back on the road that leads to the ·desert [wilderness] around Damascus. Enter that city, and ·pour olive oil on [^Lanoint] Hazael to make him king over Aram [2 Kin. 8:7–15]. ¹⁶ Then ·pour oil on [^Lanoint] Jehu son of Nimshi to make him king over Israel [2 Kin. 9:1–13]. Next, ·pour oil on [^Lanoint] Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to ·make him a prophet in your place [succeed you as prophet; 2 Kin. 2:1–18].
