1 Reyes 19:19 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 19:19

So he departed thence
From Mount Horeb, and came to Abelmeholah, which Bunting computes F26 at one hundred and fifty six miles:

and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was ploughing with twelve yoke
of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth;
which may be understood either of twelve couple of oxen drawing one plough; which was a large number, but will not seem strange when it is observed, that Abelmeholah, where Elisha was ploughing, lay in the vale of Jordan, which was a clayey stiff ground, and required such a number of oxen to plough it up, especially at the first tilling of it, as this might be {a}; compare ( 1 Kings 4:12 ) ( 7:46 ) A late traveller F2 observes, that at Damegraed, in upper Egypt on the Nile, six oxen yoked to plough had a great deal of difficulty to turn up the ground; or else, as the Jewish writers generally understand it, there were twelve ploughs, and a yoke of oxen to each, and a ploughman to attend everyone, and Elisha attended the twelfth; or was with one of the twelve, as the Targum, and might have the oversight of them all; Kimchi thinks, and so Abarbiuel after him, that this signified that he should be leader of the twelve tribes of Israel: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him;
the skirts of it.

19 Llamado de Eliseo
Entonces El铆as fue y encontr贸 a Eliseo, hijo de Safat, arando un campo. Hab铆a doce pares de bueyes en el campo, y Eliseo araba con el 煤ltimo par. El铆as se acerc贸 a 茅l, le ech贸 su manto sobre los hombros y sigui贸 caminando.
20 Eliseo dej贸 los bueyes donde estaban, sali贸 corriendo detr谩s de El铆as y le dijo:
鈥擠eje que primero me despida de mis padres con un beso y luego ir茅 con usted.
El铆as respondi贸:
鈥擱egresa, pero piensa en lo que te hice.
21 Entonces Eliseo regres贸 a donde estaban sus bueyes y los mat贸. Con la madera del arado hizo una fogata para asar la carne. Reparti贸 la carne asada entre la gente del pueblo, y todos comieron. Despu茅s se fue con El铆as como su ayudante.
