1 Kings 19:16 in Context — 1 Kings 19
14 Y él respondió: Sentido he un vivo celo por Jehová Dios de los ejércitos; porque los hijos de Israel han dejado tu alianza, han derribado tus altares, y han muerto á cuchillo tus profetas: y yo solo he quedado, y me buscan para quitarme la vida.
15 Y díjole Jehová: Ve, vuélvete por tu camino, por el desierto de Damasco: y llegarás, y ungirás á Hazael por rey de Siria;
16 Y á Jehú hijo de Nimsi, ungirás por rey sobre Israel; y á Eliseo hijo de Saphat, de Abelmehula, ungirás para que sea profeta en lugar de ti.
17 Y será, que el que escapare del cuchillo de Hazael, Jehú lo matará; y el que escapare del cuchillo de Jehú, Eliseo lo matará.
18 Y yo haré que queden en Israel siete mil; todas rodillas que no se encorvaron á Baal, y bocas todas que no lo besaron.
