17 Then Jehu (YHWH is He) will put to death whoever escapes the sword of Hazael (one who sees God), and Elisha (God is salvation) will put to death whoever escapes the sword of Jehu. 18 Nevertheless, I have reserved seven thousand in Israel (he wrestles with God)—all whose knees have not bowed to Baal 19 So Elijah departed and found Elisha (God is salvation) son of Shaphat (He has judged). He was plowing with twelve teams of oxen, and he was with the twelfth team. Elijah (my God is YHWH) passed by him and threw his cloak around him. 20 So Elisha left the oxen, ran after Elijah (my God is YHWH), and said, “Please let me kiss my father and mother goodbye, and then I will follow you.” “Go on back,” Elijah replied, “for what have I done to you?” 21 So Elisha turned back from him, took his pair of oxen, and slaughtered them. Using the oxen’s equipment for fuel, he cooked the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow and serve Elijah (my God is YHWH). 1 Kings 19:17-21, Berean Annotated Bible.
