1 Kings 19:16-19
New King James Version
16 Also you shall anoint (A)Jehu the son of Nimshi as king over Israel. And (B)Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place. 17 (C)It shall be that whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu will (D)kill; and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu, (E)Elisha will kill. 18 (F)Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, (G)and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
Elisha Follows Elijah
