The KJV writes LORD for Yahuah, God for Elohim, Jesus for Yahusha, and Holy Ghost for Ruach HaQodesh (the Set-Apart Spirit). Scripture quotations remain exactly as printed in the KJV.
Listen to the KJV passage read aloud. Read the short explanation and study the different-verse worked example before starting your practice.
Day 91: 1 Kings 19:19
Read aloud: 1 Kings 19:19 (KJV).
Elijah meets Elisha while Elisha is working in a field. Elijah casts his mantle on him. Elisha leaves his work and follows him. The account shows how one person’s calling can change the work he does.
Worked example, 1 Kings 19:21 (KJV): “And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.”
Sample question: What does Elisha do after preparing a meal for the people? Find the words: “after Elijah.” Worked answer: He follows Elijah and ministers unto him. The printed words show how to find this answer.
Day 92: 2 Kings 2:9
Read aloud: 2 Kings 2:9 (KJV).
Elijah and Elisha are walking together near the end of Elijah’s ministry. Elijah asks what Elisha wants. Elisha asks for a double portion of his spirit. The request shows how much he values the work before him.
Worked example, 2 Kings 2:10 (KJV): “And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.”
Sample question: What does Elijah say about the request? Find the words: “a hard thing.” Worked answer: That Elisha has asked a hard thing. The printed words show how to find this answer.
Day 93: 2 Kings 2:14
Read aloud: 2 Kings 2:14 (KJV).
Elisha is now traveling without Elijah. He takes Elijah’s mantle and strikes the Jordan River. The waters divide. He crosses and continues the work. The story links a new leader with a familiar place.
Worked example, 2 Kings 2:15 (KJV): “And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.”
Sample question: Who recognizes that Elijah's spirit rests on Elisha? Find the words: “sons of the prophets.” Worked answer: The sons of the prophets at Jericho. The printed words show how to find this answer.
Day 94: 2 Kings 4:3
Read aloud: 2 Kings 4:3 (KJV).
A widow needs help with a debt. Elisha tells her to borrow empty vessels from her neighbors. She prepares them, and the oil can be poured into them. The story reminds us to listen to the steps in an instruction.
Worked example, 2 Kings 4:6 (KJV): “And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.”
Sample question: When does the oil stop? Find the words: “oil stayed.” Worked answer: When there is not another vessel. The printed words show how to find this answer.
Day 95: 2 Kings 5:14
Read aloud: 2 Kings 5:14 (KJV).
Naaman is a man who has been ill. He is told to wash in the Jordan. At first he does not want to follow the instruction. Later he listens and washes seven times. The account says his flesh is restored.
Worked example, 2 Kings 5:13 (KJV): “And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?”
Sample question: Who encourages Naaman to obey? Find the words: “his servants.” Worked answer: His servants. The printed words show how to find this answer.
