2 Kings 2

1And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when the LORDH3068 would takeH1961 upH5927 ElijahH452 by a whirlwind intoH1961 heavenH8064, that ElijahH452 wentH5927 with ElishaH477 from GilgalH1537. 2And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto ElishaH477, Tarry hereH6311, I prayH4994 thee; for the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 meH413 as farH5704 as Beth-el. And ElishaH477 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 liveth, and as thy soulH5315 liveth, I will notH518 leaveH5800 thee. SoH7971 they wentH3381 downH3381 to Beth-el. 3And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 that were at Beth-el cameH3318 forthH3318 to ElishaH477, and saidH559 unto him, Knowest thou that the LORDH3068 will takeH3947 awayH3947 thy masterH113 from thy headH7218 todayH3117? And he saidH559, YeaH3588, I knowH3045 it; hold ye your peace. 4And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto him, ElishaH477, tarry hereH6311, I prayH4994 thee; for the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 meH4994 to JerichoH3405. And he saidH559, As the LORDH3068 liveth, and as thy soulH5315 liveth, I will notH518 leaveH5800 thee. SoH7971 they cameH935 to JerichoH3405. 5And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 that were at JerichoH3405 cameH5066 nearH5066 to ElishaH477, and saidH559 unto him, Knowest thou that the LORDH3068 will takeH3947 awayH3947 thy masterH113 from thy headH7218 todayH3117? And he answeredH559, YeaH3588, I knowH3045 it; hold ye your peace. 6And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto him, Tarry hereH6311, I prayH4994 thee; for the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 meH4994 to JordanH3383. And he saidH559, As the LORDH3068 liveth, and as thy soulH5315 liveth, I will notH518 leaveH5800 thee. And they twoH8147 went on. 7And fiftyH2572 menH376 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 wentH1980, and stoodH5975 over againstH5921 them afarH7350 offH5921: and they twoH8147 stoodH5975 by JordanH3383. 8And ElijahH452 tookH3947 his mantleH155, and wrapped it togetherH1563, and smoteH5221 meH3947 watersH4325, and they were dividedH2673 hither and thither, soH3947 that they twoH8147 went over on dryH2724 groundH2724. 9And it cameH1961 to passH5674, when they were goneH1961 over, that ElijahH452 saidH559 unto ElishaH477, AskH7592 whatH4100 I shall doH6213 for thee, beforeH2962 I be takenH3947 from thee. And ElishaH477 saidH559, I prayH4994 thee, letH4994 a doubleH8147 portionH6310 of thy spiritH7307 be uponH1961 meH413. 10And he saidH559, Thou hast askedH7592 a hardH7185 thingH3651: neverthelessH3651, ifH518 thou seeH7200 meH7200 when I am takenH3947 from thee, it shall be soH3651 unto thee; but ifH518 notH3808, it shall notH3808 be soH3651. 11And it cameH1961 to passH1961, as they still wentH1980 on, and talkedH1696, that, beholdH2009, there appeared a chariotH7393 of fireH784, and horsesH5483 of fireH784, whichH784 partedH6504 them bothH8147 asunder; and ElijahH452 wentH1980 upH5927 by a whirlwind intoH1980 heavenH8064. 12And ElishaH477 sawH7200 it, and he criedH6817, My fatherH1, my fatherH1, the chariotsH7393 of IsraelH3478 and the horsemenH6571 thereof! And he sawH7200 him noH3808 moreH5750: and he tookH2388 holdH2388 of his ownH2388 clothesH899, and rent them in twoH8147 piecesH7168. 13He tookH853 upH7311 also the mantleH155 of ElijahH452 that fellH5307 from him, and wentH7725 backH7725, and stoodH5975 by the bankH8193 of JordanH3383. 14And he tookH3947 the mantleH155 of ElijahH452 that fellH5307 from him, and smoteH5221 the watersH4325, and saidH559, WhereH834 is the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of ElijahH452? and when he also had smittenH5221 the watersH4325, they were dividedH2673 hither and thither: and ElishaH477 went over. 15And when the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 whichH834 were at JerichoH3405 over againstH5921 him sawH7200 him, they saidH559, The spiritH7307 of ElijahH452 doth restH5117 on ElishaH477. And they cameH935 to meetH7125 him, and bowedH7812 themselvesH7812 to the groundH776 beforeH5048 him. 16And they saidH559 unto him, BeholdH2009 nowH4994, there be with thy servantsH5650 fiftyH2572 strongH2428 menH376; letH7971 them goH7971, weH6435 prayH4994 thee, and seekH1245 thy masterH113: lestH6435 peradventure the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 hath takenH5375 him upH5375, and castH7993 him uponH413 someH376 mountainH2022, or intoH413 someH376 valleyH1516. And he saidH559, Ye shall notH3808 sendH7971. 17And when they urgedH6484 him tillH5704 he was ashamedH954, he saidH559, SendH7971. They sentH7971 therefore fiftyH2572 menH376; and they soughtH1245 threeH7969 daysH3117, but foundH4672 him notH3808. 18And they cameH413 backH7725 to him, whileH1931 he tarried at JerichoH3405; and he saidH559 unto them, DidH3808 I notH3808 sayH559 unto youH7725, GoH7725 notH3808? 19And the menH376 of the cityH5892 saidH559 unto ElishaH477, BeholdH2009, weH834 prayH4994 thee, the situationH4186 of this cityH5892 is pleasantH2896, as my lordH113 seeth: but the waterH4325 is naught, and the landH776 miscarrieth. 20And he saidH559, BringH3947 meH413 a newH2319 cruse, and putH7760 saltH4417 therein. And they broughtH3947 it to him. 21And he wentH3318 forthH3318 unto the springH4161 of the watersH4325, and castH7993 saltH4417 therein, and saidH559, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, I have healedH7495 theseH428 watersH4325; there shall notH3808 be from thence anyH5750 moreH5750 deathH4194 or miscarryingH7921. 22SoH834 the watersH4325 were healedH7495 unto this dayH3117, according to the wordH1697 of ElishaH477 whichH834 he spake. 23And he wentH3318 upH5927 from thence unto Beth-el: and as he was goingH3318 upH5927 by the wayH1870, there cameH3318 forthH3318 littleH6996 childrenH5288 outH3318 of the cityH5892, and mockedH7046 him, and saidH559 unto him, GoH3318 upH5927, thou baldH7142 head; goH3318 upH5927, thou baldH7142 head. 24And he lookedH7200 behindH310 him and sawH7200 them, and cursedH7043 them in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068. And there cameH3318 forthH3318 twoH8147 she-bears outH3318 of the wood, and tare fortyH705 and twoH8147 childrenH3206 of them. 25And he wentH7725 from thence to mountH2022 CarmelH3760, and from thence he returnedH7725 to SamariaH8111.
