1 Kings 19:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ Yet, I have prepared a remnant in Israel of seven thousand,^[a] none of whom have bent their knees to Baal nor have any of their mouths kissed him.”

¹⁹ Elisha Follows Elijah. So Elijah left that place and found the son of Shaphat who was plowing with twelve yokes of oxen preceding him (he was driving the twelfth pair himself), and he tossed his mantle on him. ²⁰ Elisha left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, “Please let me kiss my father and mother good-bye and then I will follow you.” But he said, “Go back, what have I done to you?”
