1 Reyes 19:18

Listen to 1 Reyes 19:18
18 Sin embargo, preservaré a otros siete mil en Israel, ¡quienes nunca se han inclinado ante Baal ni lo han besado!

1 Reyes 19:18 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 19:18

Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel
From perishing by the sword of either of them:

all the knees which have not bowed to Baal;
that is, had not worshipped him, which was signified by this gesture:

and every mouth which hath not kissed him;
either the image of Baal itself, or the hand, in reverence of him; which rites, one or other, or both, were used by his worshippers; (See Gill on Hosea 13:2). This either refers, as some think, to the present time, and so is an answer to Elijah, who thought he was the only worshipper left with which seems to agree ( Romans 11:2-4 ) , or to the times to come, when destruction should be made by the above persons, and when God would have some faithful worshippers, and would take care of them; so some render the words, "I will reserve" F25.

1 Reyes 19:18 In-Context

16 Después unge a Jehú, nieto de Nimsi,
para que sea rey de Israel; y unge a Eliseo, hijo de Safat, de la tierra de Abel-mehola, para que tome tu lugar como mi profeta.
17 ¡A cualquiera que escape de Hazael, Jehú lo matará; y a los que escapen de Jehú, Eliseo los matará!
18 Sin embargo, preservaré a otros siete mil en Israel, ¡quienes nunca se han inclinado ante Baal ni lo han besado!
19 Llamado de Eliseo
Entonces Elías fue y encontró a Eliseo, hijo de Safat, arando un campo. Había doce pares de bueyes en el campo, y Eliseo araba con el último par. Elías se acercó a él, le echó su manto sobre los hombros y siguió caminando.
20 Eliseo dejó los bueyes donde estaban, salió corriendo detrás de Elías y le dijo:
—Deje que primero me despida de mis padres con un beso y luego iré con usted.
Elías respondió:
—Regresa, pero piensa en lo que te hice.
