1 I ask, then, has God rejected His people? Absolutely not! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he pleads with God against Israel? 3 Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars. I am the only one left, and they are trying to take my life! 4 But what was God’s reply to him? I have left 7,000 men for Myself who have not bowed down to Baal.
