2 Kings 2:3-7
3Then 1the sons of the prophets who were at Bethel went out to Elisha and said to him, “Are you aware that the Lord will take away your master from over 2you today?” And he said, “Yes, I am aware; say nothing about it.”
4And Elijah said to him, “Elisha, please 3stay here, for the Lord has sent me to 4Jericho.” But he said, “5As surely as the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they came to Jericho. 5Then 6the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho approached Elisha and said to him, “7Do you know that the Lord will take away your master from over 8you today?” And he 9answered, “Yes, I know; say nothing about it.” 6And Elijah said to him, “Please 10stay here, for the Lord has sent me to 11the Jordan.” But he said, “As surely as the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on.
7Now 12fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan.
