15Then the LORD said to him, "Go back by the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you arrive, you are to anoint Hazael as king over Aram.
“And the Lord said unto him go return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus and when thou comest anoint Hazael to be king over Syria,”

16You are also to anoint Jehu son of Nimshi as king over Israel and Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel-meholah to succeed you as prophet.
“And Yehu, the son of Nimshi, shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel. And Elisha, the son of Shaphat of Abel Melola, shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.”
“And jehu the son of mimshi you shall anoint king over israel and elisha. The son of shephat of abel mahola you shall anoint as a prophet in your place.”

“It shall be that whoever escapes the sword of Hazael Jehu will kill and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu Elisha will kill.”
“And it shall come to pass that him that escapes the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay, and him that escapes from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.”
“And it shall come to pass that him that escapes the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay and him that escapes the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.”

18Nevertheless, I have reserved seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him."
“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.”
“Yet I will leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”

19So Elijah departed and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve teams of oxen, and he was with the twelfth team. Elijah passed by him and threw his cloak around him.
“So he, Elijah, departed Vance 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.”

“he left the oxen and ran after Elijah. And said please let me kiss my father and my mother then I will follow you. He said to him go back again for what have I done to you?”
“And he, Elisha, 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, what have I done to thee?”

“and he left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said let me I pray thee kiss my father and my mother and I will follow thee. And he said to him go back again for what have I done to thee.”
21So Elisha turned back from him, took his pair of oxen, and slaughtered them. With the oxen's equipment, he cooked the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow and serve Elijah.
“So Elisha turned back from him 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. Then he arose and followed Elijah and became his servant.”
