1 Reyes 19:18

Listen to 1 Reyes 19:18
18 Sin embargo, yo preservaré a siete mil israelitas que no se han arrodillado 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 y a Jehú hijo de Nimsi como rey de Israel; unge también a Eliseo hijo de Safat, de Abel Mejolá, para que te suceda como profeta.
17 Jehú dará muerte a cualquiera que escape de la espada de Jazael, y Eliseo dará muerte a cualquiera que escape de la espada de Jehú.
18 Sin embargo, yo preservaré a siete mil israelitas que no se han arrodillado ante Baal ni lo han besado.
19 Elías salió de allí y encontró a Eliseo hijo de Safat, que estaba arando. Había doce yuntas de bueyes en fila, y él mismo conducía la última. Elías pasó junto a Eliseo y arrojó su manto sobre él.
20 Entonces Eliseo dejó sus bueyes y corrió tras Elías.—Permítame usted despedirme de mi padre y de mi madre con un beso —dijo él—, y luego lo seguiré.—Anda, ve —respondió Elías—. Yo no te lo voy a impedir.
