1 Kings 19:15-18
English Standard Version
15 And the Lord said to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. And when you arrive, you shall anoint Hazael to be king over Syria. 16 (A)And Jehu the son of Nimshi you shall anoint to be king over Israel, and (B)Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah you shall anoint to be prophet in your place. 17 And the one who escapes from (C)the sword of Hazael (D)shall Jehu put to death, and the one who escapes from the sword of Jehu (E)shall Elisha put to death. 18 (F)Yet I will leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not (G)kissed him.”
