Quoting Commentary for I Kings 19:21

וַיָּ֨שָׁב מֵאַחֲרָ֜יו וַיִּקַּ֣ח אֶת־צֶ֧מֶד הַבָּקָ֣ר וַיִּזְבָּחֵ֗הוּ וּבִכְלִ֤י הַבָּקָר֙ בִּשְּׁלָ֣ם הַבָּשָׂ֔ר וַיִּתֵּ֥ן לָעָ֖ם וַיֹּאכֵ֑לוּ וַיָּ֗קָם וַיֵּ֛לֶךְ אַחֲרֵ֥י אֵלִיָּ֖הוּ וַיְשָׁרְתֵֽהוּ׃ (פ)

And he returned from following him, and took the 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.

Rashi

shall rejoice over them (יְשֻׂשׂוּם) This is usually the sign of the direct object, inappropriate here in the case of an intransitive verb. (like יָשׂוּשׂוּ מֵהֶם, shall rejoice from them). Comp. (Jer. 10:20) “My sons have gone away from me (יְצָאֻנִי).” Also, (I Kings 19:21) “He cooked the meat for them (בִּשְּׁלָם),” equivalent to בִּשֵּׁל לָהֶם, “He cooked the meat for them.”

From David to Destruction

Similarly, in Melachim I 19:21, Elisha expresses his complete commitment to Eliyahu HaNavi and simultaneously demonstrates that his style will be different. On the one hand, he slaughters a dozen pairs of oxen and uses the plowing implements (see Radak) as fuel to cook the meat. Elisha permanently and irretrievably burns the bridges to his past life of affluence. There is now no way back— he locks himself into a full commitment to Eliyahu HaNavi. His opening act has to be dramatic and complete, or else he will look at the long road ahead, and quickly turn back.

Rashi

You have given me. The word נְתַתָּנִי is the same as נָתַתָּ לִי, as in: (the preposition לִי is missing and seems to be like a direct object. Rashi will offer similar examples of this structure.) They could not speak speak to him peacefully.24See Bereishis 37:4. There too the word דַבְּרוֹ is the same as דַבֵּר אֵלָיו, speak to him. ‘My children have gone away from me.’25See Yismiyahu 10:20. There too the word יְצָאְנִי is the same as יָצְאוּ מִמֶנִי. ‘He cooked for them.’26See I Melachim 19:21. There too the word בִשְׁלָם is the same as בִשֵׁל לָהֶם.
