1 Kings 19:14-16

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴ “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of Hosts,” he replied, “but the Israelites have abandoned Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they’re looking for me to take my life.”^(A)

¹⁵ Then the Lord said to him, “Go and return by the way you came to the Wilderness of Damascus. When you arrive, you are to anoint Hazael^(B) as king over Aram. ¹⁶ You are to anoint Jehu^(C) son of Nimshi as king over Israel and Elisha^(D) son of Shaphat from Abel-meholah as prophet in your place.
