2 Kings 2:3-11

3Then 1the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 whoH834 were at BethelH1008 cameH3318 out to ElishaH477 and saidH559 to him, “Do you knowH3045 that the LordH3068 will takeH3947 away your masterH113 from overH5921 2you todayH3117?” And he saidH559, “YesH1571, I knowH3045; be stillH2814.”

4ElijahH452 saidH559 to him, “ElishaH477, pleaseH4994 3stayH3427 hereH6311, for the LordH3068 has sentH7971 me to 4JerichoH3405.” But he saidH559, “5As the LordH3068 livesH2416, and as you yourselfH5315 liveH2416, I will not leaveH5800 you.” So they cameH935 to JerichoH3405. 56The sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 whoH834 were at JerichoH3405 approachedH5066 ElishaH477 and saidH559 to him, “7Do you knowH3045 that the LordH3068 will takeH3947 away your masterH113 from overH5921 8you todayH3117?” And he 9answeredH559, “YesH1571, I knowH3045; be stillH2814.” 6Then ElijahH452 saidH559 to him, “PleaseH4994 10stayH3427 hereH6311, for the LordH3068 has sentH7971 me to 11the JordanH3383.” And he saidH559, “As the LordH3068 livesH2416, and as you yourselfH5315 liveH2416, I will not leaveH5800 you.” So the twoH8147 of them wentH1980 on.

7Now 12fiftyH2572 menH376 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 wentH1980 and stoodH5975 oppositeH4480H5048 them at a distanceH7350, while the twoH8147 of them stoodH5975 by the JordanH3383. 8ElijahH452 13tookH3947 his mantleH155 and foldedH1563 it togetherH1563 and 14struckH5221 the watersH4325, and they were dividedH2673 hereH2008 and thereH2008, so that the twoH8147 of them crossedH5674 overH5674 on dryH2724 groundH2724.

9When they had crossedH5674 overH5674, ElijahH452 saidH559 to ElishaH477, “AskH7592 whatH4100 I shall doH6213 for you beforeH2962 I am takenH3947 from you.” And ElishaH477 saidH559, “PleaseH4994, let a 15doubleH8147 portionH6310 of your spiritH7307 be upon me.” 10He saidH559, “You have askedH7592 a hardH7185 thingH7185. Nevertheless, ifH518 you 16seeH7200 me when I am takenH3947 from you, it shall be soH3651 for you; but ifH518 not, it shall not be so.” 11As they were goingH1980 along and talkingH1696, beholdH2009, there appeared 17a chariotH7393 of fireH784 and horsesH5483 of fireH784 which separatedH6504 the twoH8147 of them. And ElijahH452 wentH5927 up by a 18whirlwindH5591 to heavenH8064.
