2 Kings 2:9-12

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.
