1 Kings 19:14-16

International Standard Version

¹⁴ “I’ve been very zealous for the Lord God of the Heavenly Armies,” he replied. “The Israelis have abandoned your covenant, demolished your altars, executed your prophets with swords, and I—that’s right, just me!—am the only one left. Now they’re seeking my life, to get rid of me!”

¹⁵ The Lord replied to him, “Go! Return to Damascus, and when you get there, anoint Hazael as king over Aram, ¹⁶ anoint Nimshi’s son Jehu as king over Israel, and anoint Shaphat’s son Elisha from Abel-meholah as a prophet to replace you.
