4. ‘Elijah went straight out and found Elisha son of Shaphat in a field where there
were twelve pairs of yoked oxen at work plowing; Elisha was in charge of the
twelfth pair. Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak over him. Elisha deserted the
oxen, ran after Elijah, and said, “Please! Let me kiss my father and mother good-bye—
then I’ll follow you.” “Go ahead,” said Elijah, “but, mind you, don’t forget
what I’ve just done to you.” So Elisha left; he took his yoke of oxen and butchered
them. He made a fire with the plow and tackle and then boiled the meat—a true
farewell meal for the family. Then he left and followed Elijah, becoming his right-hand
man.’ 1 Kings Chapter 19 Verses 19 - 21
