2 Kings 2:15-22

15Now when 1the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 whoH834 were at JerichoH3405 oppositeH4480H5048 him sawH7200 him, they saidH559, “The spiritH7307 of ElijahH452 restsH5117 on ElishaH477.” And they cameH935 to meetH7122 him and bowedH7812 themselves to the groundH776 before him. 16They saidH559 to him, “BeholdH2009 nowH4994, thereH3426 are with your servantsH5650 fiftyH2572 strongH2428 menH376, pleaseH4994 let them goH1980 and searchH1245 for your masterH113; perhapsH6435 2the SpiritH7307 of the LordH3068 has takenH5375 him up and castH7993 him on someH259 mountainH2022 orH176 into someH259 valleyH1516.” And he saidH559, “You shall not sendH7971.” 17But when 3they urgedH6484 him untilH5704 he was ashamedH954, he saidH559, “SendH7971.” They sentH7971 therefore fiftyH2572 menH376; and they searchedH1245 threeH7969 daysH3117 but did not findH4672 him. 18They returnedH7725 to him while he was stayingH3427 at JerichoH3405; and he saidH559 to them, “Did I not sayH559 to you, ‘Do not goH1980’?”

19Then the menH376 of the cityH5892 saidH559 to ElishaH477, “BeholdH2009 now, the situationH4186 of this cityH5892 is pleasantH2896, as my lordH113 seesH7200; but the waterH4325 is badH7451 and the landH776 4is unfruitfulH7921.” 20He saidH559, “BringH3947 me a newH2319 jarH6746, and putH7760 saltH4417 5in it.” So they broughtH3947 it to him. 21He wentH3318 out to the springH4161 of waterH4325 and 6threwH7993 saltH4417 7in it and saidH559, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘I have 8purifiedH7495 theseH428 watersH4325; there shall not be from thereH8033 deathH4194 or 9unfruitfulnessH7921 anyH5750 longerH5750.’” 22So the watersH4325 have been 10purifiedH7495 to thisH2088 dayH3117, according to the wordH1697 of ElishaH477 whichH834 he spokeH1696.
