2 Kings 2:11-18

11And it came to pass, as they still wentH1980 on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariotH7393 of fireH784, and horsesH5483 of fireH784, which parted them both asunder; and ElijahH452 wentH1980 up by a whirlwind into heavenH8064. 12And ElishaH477 sawH7200 it, and he criedH6817, My fatherH1, my fatherH1, the chariotsH7393 of IsraelH3478 and the horsemenH6571 thereof!

And he sawH7200 him no more: and he tookH2388 holdH2388 of his own clothesH899, and rent them in twoH8147 pieces. 13He took up also the mantle of ElijahH452 that fellH5307 from him, and wentH7725 backH7725, and stoodH5975 by the bankH8193 of the JordanH3383. 14And he tookH3947 the mantle of ElijahH452 that fellH5307 from him, and smote the watersH4325, and saidH559, WhereH834 is Jehovah, the GodH430 of ElijahH452? and whenH834 he alsoH637 had smitten the watersH4325, they were dividedH2673 hither and thither; and ElishaH477 went over.

15And whenH834 the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 that were at JerichoH3405 over against him sawH7200 him, they saidH559, The spiritH7307 of ElijahH452 doth restH5117 on ElishaH477. And they cameH935 to meet him, and bowedH7812 themselves to the groundH776 before him. 16And they saidH559 unto him, Behold now, there are with thy servantsH5650 fiftyH2572 strong menH376; let them goH7971, we pray thee, and seekH1245 thy masterH113, lestH6435 the SpiritH7307 of Jehovah hath takenH5375 him up, and castH7993 him upon some mountainH2022, or into some valleyH1516. And he saidH559, Ye shall not sendH7971. 17And when they urged him till he was ashamedH954, he saidH559, SendH7971. They sentH7971 therefore fiftyH2572 menH376; and they soughtH1245 threeH7969 daysH3117, but foundH4672 him not. 18And they came backH7725 to him, while he tarried at JerichoH3405; and he saidH559 unto them, Did I not sayH559 unto you, GoH7725 not?
