2 Kings 2:9-14

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.
