2 Kings 2:9-15
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. 13He took upH7311 also the mantleH155 of ElijahH452 that fellH5307 from him, and went backH7725, and stoodH5975 by the bankH8193 of JordanH3383;2 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.
