2 Kings 2:11-18
11And it came to pass as they wentH1980 on, and talked, that behold, a chariotH7393 of fireH784 and horsesH5483 of fireH784; and they parted them both asunder; and ElijahH452 wentH1980 up by a whirlwind into the heavensH8064.
12And ElishaH477 sawH7200 [it], and he criedH6817, My fatherH1, my fatherH1! the chariotH7393 of IsraelH3478 and the horsemenH6571 thereof! And he sawH7200 him no more. Then he tookH2388 holdH2388 of his own garmentsH899 and rent them in twoH8147 pieces.
13And he took up the mantle of ElijahH452 which fellH5307 from him, and wentH7725 backH7725 and stoodH5975 by the bankH8193 of the JordanH3383;
14and he tookH3947 the mantle of ElijahH452 which had fallenH5307 from him, and smote the watersH4325, and saidH559, WhereH834 is Jehovah, the 1GodH430 of ElijahH452? He alsoH637 smote the watersH4325, and they parted hither and thither, and ElishaH477 went over.
15And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 who were at JerichoH3405 on the opposite sideH7307 sawH7200 him, and they saidH559, The spiritH7307 of ElijahH452 restsH5117 on ElishaH477. And they cameH935 to meet him, and bowedH7812 themselves to the groundH776 before him,
16and saidH559 to him, Behold now, there are with thy servantsH5650 fiftyH2572 valiant menH376; let them goH7971, we pray thee, and seekH1245 thy masterH113, lestH6435 perhaps the SpiritH7307 of Jehovah have takenH5375 him up, and castH7993 him upon some mountainH2022, or into some ravine. And he saidH559, Ye shall not sendH7971.
17And they pressed him till he was ashamedH954, and he saidH559, SendH7971. They sentH7971 therefore fiftyH2572 menH376, and they soughtH1245 threeH7969 daysH3117, but did not findH4672 him.
18And they came again to him (now he was staying at JerichoH3405); and he saidH559 to them, Did I not sayH559 to you, GoH7725 not?
