And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 16 is found in chapter 19 of 1 Kings. God gives Elijah new tasks and announces that there are still people and events through which he will accomplish his purpose. He also calls Elisha as his successor. Elijah discovers that his ministry does not depend exclusively on his own presence and that God has preserved a remnant. The symbolic anointing of Elisha begins the transition between two prophetic generations.
