Yet will I leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth which has not kissed him.”

Quotation1
A formal citation — high verbal volume, often introduced by a saying-formula.
Formula-cited divine answer (v.4): 'I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.' Verbatim of the LORD's reply to Elijah; the foundational proof-text for Paul's doctrine of a preserved remnant 'according to the election of grace' (v.5).
High confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The 'seven thousand' Elijah is told remain faithful — possibly inverted in Rev's 'seven thousand people were killed,' a deliberate reversal of the Elijah remnant number. Numerically distinctive enough to register; contested as intentional.
