1 And Ach’av [father’s brother] told Izevel [Ba’al exalts] all that Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
2 Then Izevel [Ba’al exalts] sent a messenger unto Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah], saying, So let the gods do [to me], and more also, if I make not youri life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.
3 And when he saw [that], he arose, and went for his life, and came to Be’er-sheva [Well of the sevenfold Oath], which [belongs] to Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and left his servant there.
4 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-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), take away my life; for I [am] not better than my fathers.
5 And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel [Mal’ach] touched him, and said unto him, Arise [and] eat.
6 And he looked, and, behold, [there was] a cake baked on the coals, and a pot of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.
7 And the angel of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise [and] eat; because the journey [is] too great for youi.
8 And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horev [Desert] the mount of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].
9 And he came there unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [came] to him, and he said unto him, What do youi here, Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah]?
10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies]: for the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] have forsaken youi covenant, thrown down youi altars, and slain youi prophets with the sword; and I, [even] I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). And, behold, the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); [but] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [was] not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [was] not in the earthquake:
12 And after the earthquake a fire; [but] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [was] not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
13 And it was [so], when Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] heard [it], that he wrapped his face in his Mantle (cloak; covering garment) (cloak), and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, [there came] a voice unto him, and said, What do youi here, Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah]?
14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies]: because the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] have forsaken youri covenant, thrown down youri altars, and slain youri prophets with the sword; and I, [even] I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
15 And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto him, Go, return on youi way to the wilderness of Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver]: and when youi come, anoint Haza’el [one who sees God] [to be] king over Aram (Syria) [exalted]:
16 And Yehu [Yehovah is He] the son of Nimshi [rescued] shall youi anoint [to be] king over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: and Eli-sha [my God is salvation] the son of Shafat [He Has Judged] of Avel-M’cholah [Meadow of Dancing] shall youi anoint [to be] prophet in youri room.
17 And it shall come to pass, [that] him that escapes the sword of Haza’el [one who sees God] shall Yehu [Yehovah is He] slay: and him that escapes from the sword of Yehu [Yehovah is He] shall Eli-sha [my God is salvation] slay.
18 Yet I have left [me] seven thousand in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], all the knees which have not bowed unto Ba’al [lord (a false god)], and every mouth which has not kissed him.
19 So he departed there, and found Eli-sha [my God is salvation] the son of Shafat [He Has Judged], who [was] plowing [with] twelve yoke [of oxen] before him, and he with the twelfth: and Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] passed by him, and cast his Mantle (cloak; covering garment) (cloak) upon him.
20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah], and said, Let me, I pray youi, kiss my father and my mother, and [then] I will follow youi. And he said unto him, Go (and return) back again: for what I have done to youi.
21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and killed 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 Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah], and ministered unto him.
