2 Kings 2:9-12
9When they had crossedH5674 overH5674, ElijahH452 saidH559 to ElishaH477, “AskH7592 me whatH4100 I should 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.”
11And as they were walkingH1980 along and talkingH1696, beholdH2009, 3a chariotH7393 of fireH784 appeared with horsesH5483 of fireH784, and they separatedH6504 the twoH8147 of them. Then ElijahH452 wentH5927 upH5927 by a 4whirlwindH5591 to heavenH8064.
12And ElishaH477 was watchingH7200 it and he was cryingH6817 outH6817, “5My fatherH1, my fatherH1, the chariotH7393 of IsraelH3478 and its horsemenH6571!” And he did not seeH7200 6Elijah againH5750. Then 7he tookH2388 holdH2388 of his own clothesH899 and toreH7167 them in twoH8147 piecesH7168.
