The Lord told Elijah that there are many people in Israel that are faithful - so Elijah need not feel alone...

Kings 19:18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76676352


Kings 19:19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.

---

Elijah cast his mantle on Elisha:

He's giving this mantle to Elisha because it's a symbol meaning he is chosen to be Elijah's replacement.

Elisha knew exactly what Elijah had done - but so did Elijah saying - what have I done to thee?; knowing that being a prophet of the Lord could be a death sentence in Ahab's kingdom.

20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?

But Elisha was determined to go with Elijah:

Kings 19:21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.

Trouble was brewing for Ahab and his kingdom.

Benhadad the king of Syria sought all that Ahab possessed.

Kings 20:And Benhadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.

2 And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Benhadad,

3 Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.
