U-Izebeli wayesethuma isigijimi ku-Eliya ukuthi: “Mabenze lokhu kimi onkulunkulu, bengezelele kanjalo, uma ngingenzi ukuphila kwakho kube njengempilo yomunye wabo kusasa ngalesi sikhathi. Lapho ekubona, wasukuma, wabaleka ukuze asindise umphefumulo wakhe, wafika eBeri Sheba elingelakwaJuda, washiya inceku yakhe lapho. Kepha yena wahamba ibanga losuku ehlane, wafika wahlala phansi komjunipha; futhi wazibuza ukuthi kufanele afe; wathi: Kwanele; manje, Jehova, susa ukuphila kwami; ngoba kangingcono kulobaba.

Wadla, waphuza, wabuye walala; Ingelosi kaJehova yabuya ngokwesibili, yamthinta, yathi: “Vuka udle; ngoba uhambo lukhulu kakhulu kuwe. Wavuka, wadla, waphuza, ngamandla alokho kudla izinsuku ezingamashumi amane nobusuku obungamashumi amane waya eHorebe, intaba kaNkulunkulu.
