note
Elias fleing Iezabel, in the desert eateth a harth cake and drinketh water,
brought by an Angel, and so goeth fourtie dayes and nightes vnto mount
Horeb. 9. Lamenting that he alone is leift of the prophetes of God. 15. God
commandeth him to returne to Damascus, and anoint Hazael king of Syria,
Iehu king of Israel, and Eliseus a prophet: 18. and telleth him, there remaine
seuen thousand in Israel, which haue not bowed to Baal.
1 And Achab told Iezabel al thinges that Elias had done,
and how he had killed al the prophetes with the sword.
2 And Iezabel sent a messenger to Elias, saying: These thinges
do the goddes to me, and these adde they, if this houre to
morow I make not thy soule as the soule of one of them.
3 Elias therfore was afraid, & rysing he went whither soeuer
his wil caried him: and he came into Bersabee of Iuda, and
leaft his seruant there,
4 and went forward into the desert,
one dayes iourney. And when he was come, and sate vnder a
iuniper tree, he desired for his soule to die, and sayd: It sufficeth
me Lord, take my soul: for I am not better then my fathers.
5 And he cast him self downe, and slept in the shadow
of the iuniper tree: and behold an Angel of our Lord touched
him, and sayd to him: Arise, and eate.
6 He looked,
and behold at his head harthbaked bread, and a vessel of
water: he therfore did eate, and drinke, and he slept againe.
7 And the Angel of our Lord returned the second time, and
touched him, and said to him: Arise, eate: for thou hast yet
a great way to goe.
8 Who when he was risen: did eate and
drinke, & walked in the strength of that meate fourtie daies,
and fourtie nightes, vnto the mount of God, Horeb.
9 And
when he was come thither, he taried in a caue: and behold the
word of our Lord vnto him, & he said to him: What doest thou
here Elias?
10 But he answered: With zele haue I beene zelous

Elias. Iezabel.
for our Lord the God of hostes. because the children of Israel
haue forsaken thy couenant: thy altars haue they destroyed,
& thy prophetes they haue slaine with the sword, & note I alone
am leaft, & they seeke my life to take it away.
11 And he said
to him: Come forth, and stand in the mount before our Lord:
and behold our Lord passeth, and a great winde, and strong
ouerthrowing mountaynes, and breaking rockes before our
Lord: not in the winde is our Lord, and after the winde
an earth quake: not in the earth quake is our Lord,
12 and
after the earth quake fire: not in the fire is our Lord, and
after the fire a wistling of a gentle winde.
13 Which when
Elias had heard, he couered his face with his mantel, and
coming forth stood in the doore of the caue, and behold a
voyce vnto him, saying: What doest thou here Elias?
14 And
he answered: With zele haue I beene zelous for our Lord the
God of hostes: because the children of Israel haue forsaken
thy couenant: thyn altars they haue destroyed, and thy prophetes
they haue slaine with the sword, and I alone am leaft,
and they seeke my life to take it away.
15 And our Lord sayd
to him: Goe, and returne into thy way by the desert of Damiascus:
and when thou art come thither thou note shalt anoint
Hazael king ouer Syria,
16 and Iehu the sonne of Namsi thou
shalt anoynt king ouer Israel: and Eliseus the sonne of Saphat,
which is of Abelmeula, thou shalt anoynt prophet for
thee.
17 And it shal be, whosoeuer shal escape the sword of
Hazael, him Iehu shal kil: and whosouer shal escape the
sword of Iehu, him shal Eliseus kil.
18 And I wil leaue me
in Israel seuen thousand men, whose knees haue not beene
bowed before Baal, and euerie mouth, that hath not adored
him kyssing his handes.
19 Elias therfore departing thence,
found Eliseus the sonne of Saphat, ploughing with twelue
yoke of oxen, and he was one of them that ploughed with
twelue yoke of oxen: and when Elias came to him, he cast
his mantel vpon him.
20 Who forth with leauing the oxen
ranne after Elias, and said: Let me kisse, I pray thee, my
father, and my mother, and so I wil folow thee. And he sayd
to him: Goe, and returne: for that which was my part, I haue
donne to thee.
21 And returning from him, he tooke a yoke
of oxen, and killed them, and sod the flesh with the plough
of the oxen, and gaue to the people, and they did eate: and
rysing vp he departed, and folowed Elias, & ministred to him.
