1 Kings 19:19-21
Elijah Calls Elisha
So he departed from there, and found
Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was ploughing, with twelve yoke of oxen
before him, and he was with the twelfth. Elijah passed by him and case his
mantle upon him. And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said,
"Let me kiss father and my mother, and then I will follow you." And he
said to him, "Go back again; for what have I done to you?" And he returned
from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled
their flesh with the yokes of the oxen, and gave it to the people, and
they ate. Then he arose and went after Elijah and ministered to him.
