Expanded Bible

³ “Lord,” he said, “they have killed your prophets, and they have ·destroyed [torn/burned down] your altars. I am the only one left, and now they are ·trying to kill me, too [seeking my life; 1 Kin. 19:10, 14].” ⁴ But what ·answer did God give Elijah [^Lwas the divine response]? He said, “But I have ·left [kept for myself] seven thousand ·people [or men] in Israel who have not bowed ·down [^Lthe knee] before Baal [1 Kin. 19:18].” ⁵ It is the same now. There ·are a few people [is a remnant] that God has chosen by his grace.
