20 And he ran anon after Elijah, when the oxen were left, and said, I pray thee, kiss I my father and my mother, and so I shall pursue [or follow] thee. And Elijah said to him, Go thou, and turn again, for I have done to thee that that was mine to do.
21 Soothly he turned again from Elijah, and took twain [or a pair of] oxen, and killed them; and with the plow of the oxen he seethed the flesh, and gave to the people, and they ate; and he rose, and went, and pursued [or followed] Elijah, and ministered to him.
