2 Kings 2:9-12
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 1doubleH8147 portionH6310 of your spiritH7307 be upon me.”
10He saidH559, “You have askedH7592 a hardH7185 thingH7185. Nevertheless, ifH518 you 2seeH7200 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 3a chariotH7393 of fireH784 and horsesH5483 of fireH784 which separatedH6504 the twoH8147 of them. And ElijahH452 wentH5927 up by a 4whirlwindH5591 to heavenH8064.
12ElishaH477 sawH7200 it and criedH6817 out, “5My fatherH1, my fatherH1, the 6chariotsH7393 of IsraelH3478 and its horsemenH6571!” And he sawH7200 7Elijah noH3808 moreH5750. Then 8he tookH2388 holdH2388 of his own clothesH899 and toreH7167 them in twoH8147 piecesH7168.
