1 Kings 19:16 in Context — 1 Kings 19
14 E ele respondeu: Tenho sentido um zelo intenso pelo SENHOR Deus dos exércitos; porque os filhos de Israel deixaram tua aliança, derrubaram teus altares, e mataram à espada teus profetas: e eu só restei, e me buscam para tirar-me a vida.
15 E disse-lhe o SENHOR: Vai, volta-te por teu caminho, pelo deserto de Damasco: e chegarás, e ungirás a Hazael por rei da Síria;
16 E a Jeú, filho de Ninsi, ungirás por rei sobre Israel; e a Eliseu filho de Safate, de Abel-Meolá, ungirás para que seja profeta em lugar de ti.
17 E será, que o que escapar da espada, de Hazael, Jeú o matará; e o que escapar da espada de Jeú, Eliseu o matará.
18 E eu farei que restem em Israel sete mil; todos os joelhos que não se encurvaram a Baal, e bocas todas que não o beijaram.
