KJV - 1 Kings 19:20
And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?
He left the cows and chased Elijah, asking to quickly say goodbye to his dad and mom, then follow. Elijah told him to go back, wondering what he had done to deserve this.
