- 1 Rois 19
  
  1 Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
  
  2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, "So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I don't make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time!"
  
  3 When he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.
  
  4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, "It is enough. Now, O Yahweh, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers."
  
  5 He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, "Arise and eat!"
  
  6 He looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on the coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay down again.
  
  7 The angel of Yahweh came again the second time, and touched him, and said, "Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you."
  
  8 He arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the Mount of God.
  
  9 He came there to a cave, and lodged there; and behold, the word of Yahweh came to him, and he said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
  
  10 He said, "I have been very jealous for Yahweh, the God of Armies; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword. I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."
  
  11 He said, "Go out, and stand on the mountain before Yahweh." Behold, Yahweh passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before Yahweh; but Yahweh was not in the wind. After the wind an earthquake; but Yahweh was not in the earthquake.
  
  12 After the earthquake a fire passed; but Yahweh was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
  
  13 It was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. Behold, a voice came to him, and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
  
  14 He said, "I have been very jealous for Yahweh, the God of Armies; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword. I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away."
  
  15 Yahweh said to him, "Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. When you arrive, you shall anoint Hazael to be king over Syria.
  
  16 You shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel; and you shall anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah to be prophet in your place.
  
  17 It shall happen, that he who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill.
  
  18 Yet will I leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth which has not kissed him."
  
  19 So he departed there, 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 over to him, and cast his mantle on him.
  
  20 He left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, "Let me please kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you." He said to him, "Go back again; for what have I done to you?"
  
  21 He returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and served him.
  
  Daniel 1
  
  1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and besieged it.
  
  2 The Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God ; and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god: and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.
  
  3 The king spoke to Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring in [certain] of the children of Israel, even of the seed royal and of the nobles;
  
  4 youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skillful in all wisdom, and endowed with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king's palace; and that he should teach them the learning and the language of the Chaldeans.
  
  5 The king appointed for them a daily portion of the king's dainties, and of the wine which he drank, and that they should be nourished three years; that at its end they should stand before the king.
  
  6 Now among these were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
  
  7 The prince of the eunuchs gave names to them: to Daniel he gave [the name of] Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, [of] Shadrach; and to Mishael, [of] Meshach; and to Azariah, [of] Abednego.
  
  8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's dainties, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
  
  9 Now God made Daniel to find kindness and compassion in the sight of the prince of the eunuchs.
  
  10 The prince of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths who are of your own age? so would you endanger my head with the king.
  
  11 Then Daniel said to the steward whom the prince of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
  
  12 Test your servants, I beg you, ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink.
  
  13 Then let our faces be looked on before you, and the face of the youths who eat of the king's dainties; and as you see, deal with your servants.
  
  14 So he listened to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.
  
  15 At the end of ten days their faces appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, than all the youths who ate of the king's dainties.
  
  16 So the steward took away their dainties, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them pulse.
  
  17 Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
  
  18 At the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
  
  19 The king talked with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.
  
  20 In every matter of wisdom and understanding, concerning which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters who were in all his realm.
  
  21 Daniel continued even to the first year of king Cyrus.
  
  1 Thessaloniciens 2
  
  1 For you yourselves know, brothers, our visit to you wasn't in vain,
  
  2 but having suffered before and been shamefully treated, as you know, at Philippi, we grew bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict.
  
  3 For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception.
  
  4 But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.
  
  5 For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),
  
  6 nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.
  
  7 But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.
  
  8 Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you, not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us.
  
  9 For you remember, brothers, our labor and travail; for working night and day, that we might not burden any of you, we preached to you the Good News of God.
  
  10 You are witnesses with God, how holy, righteously, and blamelessly we behaved ourselves toward you who believe.
  
  11 As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,
  
  12 to the end that you should walk worthily of God, who calls you into his own Kingdom and glory.
  
  13 For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.
  
  14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the assemblies of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus; for you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews;
  
  15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and didn't please God, and are contrary to all men;
  
  16 forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved; to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.
  
  17 But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season, in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face with great desire,
  
  18 because we wanted to come to you--indeed, I, Paul, once and again--but Satan hindered us.
  
  19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Isn't it even you, before our Lord Jesus at his coming?
  
  20 For you are our glory and our joy.
