2 Kings 2:11-15
11And as they were walking along and talking, behold, 1a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and they separated the two of them. Then Elijah went up by a 2whirlwind to heaven. 12And Elisha was watching it and he was crying out, “3My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” And he did not see 4Elijah again. Then 5he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. 13He also took up the coat of Elijah that had fallen from him, and he went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan. 14Then he took the coat of Elijah that had fallen from him and struck the waters, and said, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” And when he also had 6struck the waters, they were divided here and there; and Elisha crossed over.
15Now when 7the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho opposite him saw him, they said, “The spirit of Elijah has settled on Elisha.” And they came to meet him and bowed down to the ground before him.
