1 Kings 18:4Wycliffe's Bible with Modern SpellingFor when Jezebel killed the prophets of the Lord, he took an hundred prophets, and hid them, by fifties and fifties, in dens, and fed them with bread and water. See the chapter |
Soothly Elisha sat in his house, and eld [or old] men sat with him; then the king before-sent a man to Elisha, and before that that messenger came, Elisha said to the eld [or old] men, Whether ye know, that Benhadad the son of a man-queller [hath] sent hither, that mine head be girded off? Therefore see ye, when the messenger cometh, shut ye the door, and suffer ye not him to enter; for lo! the sound of the feet of his lord is behind him.
