2 Kings 2:9-12
9And it came to pass, when they were gone overH5674, that ElijahH452 saidH559 unto ElishaH477, AskH7592 what I shall doH6213 for thee, before I be taken awayH3947 from thee. And ElishaH477 saidH559, I pray thee, let a doubleH8147 portionH6310 of thy spiritH7307 be upon me. 10And he saidH559, Thou hast askedH7592 a hard thingH7185: nevertheless, if thou seeH7200 me when I am takenH3947 from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.1 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.
