When your life work for God comes to an end - and you die.....there is still work to do for those who follow you....
So Elijah went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat.
He was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen,
and he himself was driving the twelfth pair.
Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak around him.
1 Kings 19:19 NIV
