2 Kings 2:1-8
1And it came to pass, when Jehovah would take up ElijahH452 by a whirlwind into heavenH8064, that ElijahH452 wentH5927 with ElishaH477 from GilgalH1537.
2And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto ElishaH477, Tarry hereH6311, I pray thee; for Jehovah hath sentH7971 me as far as Beth-el. And ElishaH477 saidH559, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soulH5315 liveth, I will not leaveH5800 thee. So they wentH3381 downH3381 to Beth-el.
3And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 that were at Beth-el cameH3318 forthH3318 to ElishaH477, and saidH559 unto him, Knowest thou that Jehovah will takeH3947 awayH3947 thy masterH113 from thy headH7218 to-day? And he saidH559, Yea, I knowH3045 it; hold ye your peace.
4And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto him, ElishaH477, tarry hereH6311, I pray thee; for Jehovah hath sentH7971 me to JerichoH3405. And he saidH559, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soulH5315 liveth, I will not leaveH5800 thee. So they cameH935 to JerichoH3405.
5And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 that were at JerichoH3405 came near to ElishaH477, and saidH559 unto him, Knowest thou that Jehovah will takeH3947 awayH3947 thy masterH113 from thy headH7218 to-day? And he answered, Yea, I knowH3045 it; hold ye your peace.
6And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto him, Tarry hereH6311, I pray thee; for Jehovah hath sentH7971 me to the JordanH3383. And he saidH559, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soulH5315 liveth, I will not leaveH5800 thee. And they twoH8147 went on.
7And fiftyH2572 menH376 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 wentH1980, and stoodH5975 over against them afarH7350 off: and they twoH8147 stoodH5975 by the JordanH3383.
8And ElijahH452 tookH3947 his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the watersH4325, and they were dividedH2673 hither and thither, so that they twoH8147 went over on dryH2724 groundH2724.
