2 Kings 2:9-15

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].

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,
