King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
And Ahab told
Jezebel all that Elijah had
done
, and withal
how he had
slain
all the prophets with
the sword .
And Ahab declareth
to
Jezebel all that Elijah did
, and all
how he slew
all the prophets by
the sword ,
Then
Jezebel sent
a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So
let
the gods do
to
me
, and more
also
, if
I make not
thy life as the life of one of them by
to
morrow
about
this
time
.
and
Jezebel sendeth
a messenger unto Elijah, saying, `Thus
doth
the gods, and thus
do
they
add
, surely
about
this
time
to-morrow,
I make thy life as the life of one of them. '
And when
he saw
that
, he
arose
, and went
for his life, and came
to Beersheba
, which
belongeth
to
Judah
, and left
his servant
there .
And he feareth
, and
riseth
, and goeth
for his life, and cometh
in
to Beer-Sheba
, that
`is'
Judah's
, and leaveth
his young
man
there ,
But
he himself went
a
day's
journey
into the wilderness, and came
and sat
down
under a juniper
tree :
and he
requested
for
himself
that
he
might
die ;
and said
, It
is
enough ;
now, O LORD
, take away
my life;
for I am not better than my fathers.
and
he himself hath
gone
into the wilderness a
day's
Journey
, and cometh
and sitteth
under a certain
retem-
tree ,
and desireth
his
soul
to
die ,
and saith
, `
Enough ,
now, O Jehovah
, take my soul,
for I `
am '
not better than my fathers. '
And as
he lay
and slept
under a juniper
tree, behold
, then
an
angel
touched
him, and said
unto
him, Arise
and
eat .
And he lieth
down
and sleepeth
under a certain
retem-
tree, and
lo
, a
messenger
cometh
against
him, and saith
to
him, `Rise,
eat ;'
And he looked
, and ,
behold
, there
was
a cake baken on the
coals
, and a cruse
of water at
his
head.
And he did
eat
and drink
, and laid
him
down again
.
and he looketh
attentively
, and lo
, at
his
bolster
a cake `
baken on '
burning
stones
, and a dish
of water ,
and he eateth,
and drinketh
, and turneth,
and
lieth
down.
And the angel
of the
LORD
came
again
the
second time, and touched
him, and said
, Arise
and
eat ;
because
the journey
is too great for thee .
And the messenger
of Jehovah
turneth
back
a
second time, and cometh
against
him, and saith
, `Rise,
eat ,
for
the way
is too great for thee ;'
And he arose
, and did
eat
and drink
, and went
in the strength
of that meat
forty days and forty nights unto Horeb
the mount of God.
and he riseth
, and eateth,
and drinketh
, and goeth
in the power
of that food
forty days and forty nights ,
unto the mount of God --
Horeb
.
And he came
thither
unto a
cave, and lodged
there ;
and
, behold
, the word of the
LORD
came
to
him, and he
said
unto
him, What doest
thou
here, Elijah?
And he cometh
in
there,
unto the
cave, and lodgeth
there, and
lo
, the word of Jehovah
`is'
unto
him, and saith
to
him, `
What --
to
thee,
here, Elijah? '
And he said
, I have been very jealous
for the
LORD
God of hosts :
for the children
of Israel have forsaken thy covenant ,
thrown
down
thine altars, and slain
thy prophets with
the sword ;
and I, even
I only
, am
left;
and they seek my life ,
to take it away
.
And he saith
, `
I have been very zealous
for Jehovah,
God of Hosts ,
for the sons
of Israel have forsaken Thy covenant --
Thine altars they
have
thrown
down
, and Thy prophets they
have
slain
by
the sword ,
and I am
left
, I, by
myself,
and they seek my life --
to take it. '
And he said
, Go forth
, and stand
upon
the mount before the
LORD
. And ,
behold
, the
LORD
passed
by, and a great and strong wind
rent
the
mountains, and brake
in
pieces
the
rocks before the
LORD;
but
the
LORD
was
not in the wind :
and after the wind an
earthquake;
but
the
LORD
was
not in the earthquake:
And He saith
, `
Go out
, and thou
hast
stood
in
the mount before Jehovah
. '
And lo
, Jehovah
is
passing
by, and a wind
--
great and strong --
is
rending
mountains, and shivering
rocks before Jehovah:
--
not in the wind `is'
Jehovah;
and after the wind a
shaking:
--
not in the shaking
`is'
Jehovah;
And after the earthquake
a fire ;
but
the
LORD
was
not in the fire :
and after the fire a still small voice.
and after the shaking
a fire :
--
not in the fire `is'
Jehovah;
and after the fire a voice
still small ;
And it was
so
, when
Elijah
heard
it, that he wrapped
his face in his mantle
, and went
out, and stood
in
the entering
in
of the cave .
And
, behold
, there
came
a
voice
unto him, and said
, What doest
thou
here, Elijah?
and it cometh
to
pass
, at
Elijah's
hearing
`
it '
, that he wrappeth
his face in his robe
, and goeth
out, and standeth
at
the opening
of the cave, and
lo
, unto him `is'
a
voice
, and it
saith
, `
What --
to
thee,
here, Elijah? '
And he said
, I have been very jealous
for the
LORD
God of hosts :
because
the children
of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown
down
thine altars, and slain
thy prophets with
the sword ;
and I, even
I only
, am
left;
and they seek my life ,
to take it away
.
And he saith
, `
I have been very zealous
for Jehovah,
God of Hosts ;
for
the sons
of Israel have forsaken Thy covenant, Thine altars they
have
thrown
down
, and Thy prophets they
have
slain
by
the sword ,
and I am
left
, I, by
myself,
and they seek my life --
to take it. '
And the
LORD
said
unto him, Go ,
return
on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus :
and when
thou comest
, anoint
Hazael to
be
king over Syria:
And Jehovah
saith
unto him, `
Go turn
back
on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus ,
and thou hast
gone
in
, and
anointed
Hazael for
king over Aram,
And Jehu the
son of Nimshi shalt
thou anoint to
be
king over Israel :
and Elisha the
son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah
shalt
thou anoint to
be
prophet in thy room
.
and Jehu son of Nimshi thou dost
anoint for
king over Israel ,
and Elisha son of Shaphat ,
of Abel-Meholah,
thou dost
anoint for
prophet in thy stead
.
And it shall
come
to
pass
, that
him that
escapeth
the sword of Hazael shall
Jehu slay:
and him that
escapeth
from the sword of Jehu shall
Elisha slay.
`
And it hath
been
, him who
is
escaped
from
the sword of Hazael ,
put
to
death
doth
Jehu ,
and him who
is
escaped
from the sword of Jehu put
to
death
doth
Elisha ;
Yet
I have left me
seven
thousand
in Israel, all the knees which
have not bowed unto
Baal, and every mouth which
hath not kissed him.
and
I have left in Israel seven
thousand
, all the knees that
have not bowed to
Baal, and every mouth that
hath not kissed him. '
So
he departed
thence, and found
Elisha the
son of Shaphat, who
was
plowing with
twelve yoke of
oxen
before him, and he with the twelfth :
and Elijah passed
by
him, and cast
his mantle
upon him .
And
he goeth
thence, and findeth
Elisha son of Shaphat, and
he
is
plowing ;
twelve yoke `are'
before him, and he `is'
with the twelfth ;
and Elijah passeth
over
unto
him, and casteth
his robe
upon him ,
And he left
the oxen, and ran
after Elijah, and said
, Let me, I pray thee, kiss
my father and my mother, and then
I will
follow
thee. And he said
unto
him, Go back again:
for what have I done to thee?
and he forsaketh
the oxen, and runneth
after Elijah, and saith
, `
Let me give
a
kiss
, I pray thee, to
my father and to
my mother, and I go
after
thee. '
And he saith
to
him, `
Go ,
turn
back ,
for what have I done to thee? '
And he returned
back from him, and took
a
yoke of oxen, and slew
them
, and boiled
their
flesh
with the
instruments of the oxen, and gave
unto
the people, and they did
eat .
Then
he arose
, and went
after Elijah, and ministered
unto
him.
And he turneth
back from after
him, and taketh
the
yoke of oxen, and sacrificeth
it
, and with instruments of the oxen he
hath
boiled
their
flesh
, and giveth
to
the people, and they eat ,
and
he riseth
, and goeth
after Elijah, and serveth
him.
