1 Kings 19:20-21

International Standard Version

²⁰ He abandoned the oxen, ran off to follow Elijah, and asked him, “Please, let me kiss my mother and father good-bye, and then I’ll come after you.”

“Go back again,” Elijah replied. “What have I done to you?”

²¹ So Elisha^[a] turned back, took the pair of oxen, sacrificed them, boiled their flesh using the farm implements for fuel, and gave the food to the people with him.^[b] Then he got up, followed Elijah, and became his servant.
