2 Kings 2:11-18
11And it came to pass, as they stillH1980 went onH1980, and talkedH1696, that, behold, there appeared a chariotH7393 of fireH784, and horsesH5483 of fireH784, and partedH6504 them bothH8147 asunderH996; and ElijahH452 went upH5927 by a whirlwindH5591 into heavenH8064.
12And ElishaH477 sawH7200 it, and he criedH6817, My fatherH1, my fatherH1, the chariotH7393 of IsraelH3478, and the horsemenH6571 thereof. And he sawH7200 him no more: and he took holdH2388 of his own clothesH899, and rentH7167 them in twoH8147 piecesH7168. 13He took upH7311 also the mantleH155 of ElijahH452 that fellH5307 from him, and went backH7725, and stoodH5975 by the bankH8193 of JordanH3383;1 14And he tookH3947 the mantleH155 of ElijahH452 that fellH5307 from him, and smoteH5221 the watersH4325, and saidH559, Where is YhwhH3068 GodH430 of ElijahH452? and when he also had smittenH5221 the watersH4325, they partedH2673 hither and thither: and ElishaH477 went overH5674. 15And when the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 which were to view at JerichoH3405 sawH7200 him, they saidH559, The spiritH7307 of ElijahH452 doth restH5117 on ElishaH477. And they cameH935 to meetH7125 him, and bowedH7812 themselves to the groundH776 before him.
16And they saidH559 unto him, Behold now, there beH3426 with thy servantsH5650 fiftyH2572 strongH2428 menH582H1121; let them goH3212, we pray thee, and seekH1245 thy masterH113: lest peradventure the SpiritH7307 of YhwhH3068 hath taken him upH5375, and castH7993 him upon someH259 mountainH2022, or into someH259 valleyH1516. And he saidH559, Ye shall not sendH7971.23 17And when they urgedH6484 him till he was ashamedH954, he saidH559, SendH7971. They sentH7971 therefore fiftyH2572 menH376; and they soughtH1245 threeH7969 daysH3117, but foundH4672 him not. 18And when they came againH7725 to him, (for he tarriedH3427 at JerichoH3405,) he saidH559 unto them, Did I not sayH559 unto you, GoH3212 not?
