2 Kings 2:1-17

1And it came to pass, when the LORDH3068 would take upH5927 ElijahH452 into heavenH8064 by a whirlwindH5591, that ElijahH452 wentH3212 with ElishaH477 from GilgalH1537. 2And ElijahH452 saidH559 to ElishaH477, TarryH3427 here, I pray thee; for the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me to BethelH1008. And ElishaH477 saidH559 As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not leaveH5800 thee. So they went downH3381 to BethelH1008. 3And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 that were at BethelH1008 came forthH3318 to ElishaH477, and saidH559 to him, KnowestH3045 thou that the LORDH3068 will take awayH3947 thy masterH113 from thy headH7218 to dayH3117? And he saidH559, Yea, I knowH3045 it ; hold ye your peaceH2814. 4And ElijahH452 saidH559 to him, ElishaH477, tarryH3427 here, I pray thee; for the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me to JerichoH3405. And he saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not leaveH5800 thee. So they cameH935 to JerichoH3405. 5And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 that were at JerichoH3405 cameH5066 to ElishaH477, and saidH559 to him, KnowestH3045 thou that the LORDH3068 will take awayH3947 thy masterH113 from thy headH7218 to dayH3117? And he answeredH559, Yea, I knowH3045 it ; hold ye your peaceH2814. 6And ElijahH452 saidH559 to him, Tarry hereH3427, I pray thee; for the LORDH3068 hath sentH7971 me to JordanH3383. And he saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not leaveH5800 thee. And they twoH8147 went onH3212. 7And fiftyH2572 menH376 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 wentH1980, and stoodH5975 to viewH5048 afar offH7350: and they twoH8147 stoodH5975 by JordanH3383.1 8And ElijahH452 tookH3947 his mantleH155, and wrapped it togetherH1563, and smoteH5221 the watersH4325, and they were dividedH2673 to the one side and to the other, so that they twoH8147 went overH5674 on dryH2724 ground.

9And it came to pass, when they had gone overH5674, that ElijahH452 saidH559 to ElishaH477, AskH7592 what I shall doH6213 for thee, before I am 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 shalt seeH7200 me when I am takenH3947 from thee, it shall be so to thee; but if not, it shall not be so .2 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 separatedH6504 themH8147H996; 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 its horsemenH6571. And he sawH7200 him no more: and he took holdH2388 of his own clothesH899, and toreH7167 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;3 14And he tookH3947 the mantleH155 of ElijahH452 that fellH5307 from him, and smoteH5221 the watersH4325, and saidH559, Where is the LORDH3068 GodH430 of ElijahH452? and when he also had smittenH5221 the watersH4325, they partedH2673 to the one side and to the other: and ElishaH477 went overH5674. 15And when the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 who were looking on 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. 16And they saidH559 to him, Behold now, there areH3426 with thy servantsH5650 fiftyH2572 strongH2428 menH1121H582; let them goH3212, we pray thee, and seekH1245 thy masterH113: lest perhaps the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 hath taken him upH5375, and castH7993 him upon someH259 mountainH2022, or into someH259 valleyH1516. And he saidH559, Ye shall not sendH7971.45 17And when they urgedH6484 him till he was ashamedH954, he saidH559, SendH7971. They sentH7971 therefore fiftyH2572 menH376; and they soughtH1245 threeH7969 daysH3117, but foundH4672 him not.
