Melachim I Perek 19

• After seeing the miracles that Eliyahu had performed, Achav ran to Izevel, his wife.

• Izevel swore to have Eliyahu killed.

• Eliyahu fled for his life and ran to Be’er Sheva. Eliyahu then traveled even further by himself, leaving his attendant behind.

• Eliyahu prayed for his soul to be taken, as Eliyahu was being pursued to be killed.

• An angel woke Eliyahu up and showed Eliyahu that, miraculously, bread and water were next to him.

• Again, an angel woke Eliyahu up and told Eliyahu to eat his fill of the food.

• Eliyahu traveled for forty days and forty nights, until he reached Har Chorev, which is Har Sinai, and he spent the night in a cave.

• Eliyahu related to Hashem that he had fervently fulfilled the word of G-d, and he now remains the lone prophet.

• Hashem then made the wind blow, the earth quake, and fire burn, but Hashem was not in them; He was to be found in the thin, still, quiet voice.

• Eliyahu then covered his face with his cloak. (Radak, Metsudos: to conceal the divine light that was radiating from his face, just as Moshe had done after receiving the Torah.)

• Hashem told Eliyahu to annoint Chaza’el as king of Aram, Yehu ben Nimshi as king of Yisrael, and Elisha ben Shaphat as the new prophet. Note: Chaza’el and Yehu were set in place to kill off the “sinners of Yisrael”. Elisha was to replace Eliyahu as navi, and he would kill the people who had escaped from Chaza’el and Yehu.

• Eliyahu then went to anoint Elisha.

• Elisha bade his parents farewell, and he fed the people who were with him a feast prior to his leaving with Eliyahu.
