2 Kings 2:1-10

1And it came to pass when Jehovah would take up ElijahH452 into the heavensH8064 by a whirlwind, that ElijahH452 wentH5927 with ElishaH477 from GilgalH1537.

2And ElijahH452 saidH559 to ElishaH477, Abide hereH6311, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sentH7971 me to Bethel. And ElishaH477 saidH559, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soulH5315 liveth, I will not leaveH5800 thee! So they wentH3381 downH3381 to Bethel.

3And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 that were at Bethel cameH3318 forthH3318 to ElishaH477, and saidH559 to him, Dost thou knowH3045 that Jehovah will takeH3947 awayH3947 thy masterH113 from over thy headH7218 to-day? And he saidH559, I alsoH1571 knowH3045 it: be silentH2814!

4And ElijahH452 saidH559 to him, ElishaH477, abide hereH6311, I pray thee; for Jehovah has sentH7971 me to JerichoH3405. And he saidH559, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soulH5315 liveth, I will not leaveH5800 thee! And they cameH935 to JerichoH3405.

5And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 that were at JerichoH3405 drewH5066 near to ElishaH477 and saidH559 to him, Dost thou knowH3045 that Jehovah will takeH3947 awayH3947 thy masterH113 from over thy headH7218 to-day? And he saidH559, I alsoH1571 knowH3045 it: be silentH2814!

6And ElijahH452 saidH559 to him, Abide hereH6311, I pray thee; for Jehovah has 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 opposite 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; and they twoH8147 went over on dryH2724 groundH2724.

9And it came to passH5674 when they had gone over, that ElijahH452 saidH559 to ElishaH477, AskH7592 what I shall do for thee, before I amH1961 takenH3947 awayH3947 from thee. And ElishaH477 saidH559, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spiritH7307 beH1961 upon me.

10And he saidH559, Thou hast askedH7592 a hardH7185 thing: if thou seeH7200 me when I amH1961 takenH3947 from thee, it shall beH1961 soH3651 to thee; but if not, it shall not beH1961 [soH3651].
