Then Elijah passed by him and threw his mantle on him. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_kings/19-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, “Please let me kiss my father and my mother, and <i>then</i> I will follow you.”</span></p><p><span class="text 1Kgs-19-20">And he said to him, “Go back again, for what have I done to you?”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_kings/19-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>So <i>Elisha</i> turned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and slaughtered them and boiled their flesh, using the oxen’s equipment, and gave it to the people, and they ate.
