Pinchas Haftarah

Melachim Alef 18:46-19:21
1Ki 18:46 The hand of YHVH was on Eliyahu; he tucked up his clothing and ran ahead of Ach'av to the entrance of Yizre`el.
1Ki 19:1 Ach'av told Izevel everything Eliyahu had done and how he had put all the prophets to the sword.
1Ki 19:2 Then Izevel sent a messenger to say to Eliyahu, "May the gods do terrible things to me and worse ones besides if by this time tomorrow I haven't taken your life, just as you took theirs!"
1Ki 19:3 On seeing that, he got up and fled for his life. When he arrived in Be'er-Sheva, in Y'hudah, he left his servant there;
1Ki 19:4 but he himself went a day farther into the desert, until he came to a broom tree. He sat down under it and prayed for his own death. "Enough!" he said. "Now, YHVH, take my life. I'm no better than my ancestors."
1Ki 19:5 Then he lay down under the broom tree and went to sleep. Suddenly, an malachei touched him and said to him, "Get up and eat!"
1Ki 19:6 He looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on the hot stones and a jug of water. He ate and drank, then lay down again.
1Ki 19:7 The malachei came again, a second time, touched him and said, "Get up and eat, or the journey will be too much for you."
1Ki 19:8 He got up, ate and drank, and, on the strength of that meal, traveled forty days and nights until he reached Horev the mountain of Elohim.
1Ki 19:9 There he went into a cave and spent the night. Then the word of YHVH came to him; he said to him, "What are you doing here, Eliyahu?"
1Ki 19:10 He answered, "I have been very zealous for YHVH the Elohim of armies, because the people of Yisra'el have abandoned your covenant, broken down your altars and killed your prophets with the sword. Now I'm the only one left, and they're coming after me to kill me too."
1Ki 19:11 He said, "Go outside, and stand on the mountain before YHVH"; and right then and there, YHVH went past. A mighty blast of wind tore the mountains apart and broke the rocks in pieces before YHVH, but YHVH was not in the wind. After the wind came an earthquake, but YHVH was not in the earthquake.
1Ki 19:12 After the earthquake, fire broke out; but YHVH was not in the fire. And after the fire came a quiet, subdued voice.
1Ki 19:13 When Eliyahu heard it, he covered his face with his cloak, stepped out and stood at the entrance to the cave. Then a voice came to him and said, "What are you doing here, Eliyahu?"
1Ki 19:14 He answered, "I have been very zealous for YHVH the Elohim of armies; because the people of Yisra'el have abandoned your covenant, broken down your altars and killed your prophets with the sword. Now I'm the only one left, and they're after me to kill me too."
1Ki 19:15 YHVH said to him, "Go back by way of the Dammesek Desert. When you get there, anoint Haza'el to be king over Aram.
1Ki 19:16 Also anoint Yehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Yisra’el, and anoint Elisha the son of Shafat of Avel-M'cholah to be prophet after you.
1Ki 19:17 Yehu will kill whoever escapes the sword of Haza'el, and Elisha will kill whoever escapes the sword of Yehu.
1Ki 19:18 Still, I will spare seven thousand in Yisra’el, every knee that hasn't bent down before Ba`al and every mouth that has not kissed him."
1Ki 19:19 So he left and found Elisha the son of Shafat. He was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen; he himself was behind the twelfth. Eliyahu went over to him and threw his cloak on him.
1Ki 19:20 He left the oxen, ran after Eliyahu and said, "Please let me kiss my father and mother good-bye; then I will follow you." He answered, "Go; but return, because of what I did to you."
1Ki 19:21 Elisha stopped following him. Then he took the yoke of oxen, slaughtered them, cooked their meat over the wooden yokes of the oxen and gave it to the people to eat. Then he got up, went after Eliyahu and became his servant.
