to thee? |
1 Kings 19:20
_ _ what have I done to thee? that is, Go, but keep in mind the solemn ceremony I have just performed on thee. It is not I, but God, who calls thee. Do not allow any earthly affection to detain you from obeying His call. |
1 Kings 19:20
He ran Being powerfully moved by God's spirit to follow Elijah, and wholly give up himself to his function. Let me kiss That is, bid them farewell. Go And take thy leave of them, and then return to me again. For what, &c. Either first, to hinder thee from performing that office.

Or, secondly, to make such a change in thee, that thou shouldst be willing to forsake thy parents, and lands, and all, that thou mayest follow me. Whence comes this marvellous change? It is not from me, who did only throw my mantle over thee; but from an higher power, even from God's spirit, which both changed thy heart, and consecrated thee to thy prophetical office: which therefore it concerns thee vigorously to execute, and wholly to devote thyself to it. |
