2And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.H3068H5927H452H8064H5591H452H3212H477H15372And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.H452H559H477H3427H3068H7971H1008H477H559H3068H2416H5315H2416H5800H3381H10083And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.H1121H5030H1008H3318H477H559H3045H3068H3947H113H7218H3117H559H3045H28144And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.H452H559H477H3427H3068H7971H3405H559H3068H2416H5315H2416H5800H935H34055And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.H1121H5030H3405H5066H477H559H3045H3068H3947H113H7218H3117H559H3045H28146And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.H452H559H3427H3068H7971H3383H559H3068H2416H5315H2416H5800H8147H32127And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.H2572H376H1121H5030H1980H5975H5048H7350H8147H5975H33838And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.H452H3947H155H1563H5221H4325H2673H8147H5674H27249And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.H5674H452H559H477H7592H6213H3947H477H559H8147H6310H730710And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.H559H7592H7185H7200H394711And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.H1980H1980H1696H7393H784H5483H784H6504H8147H996H452H5927H5591H806412And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.H477H7200H6817H1H1H7393H3478H6571H7200H2388H899H7167H8147H716813He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;H7311H155H452H5307H7725H5975H8193H338314And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.H3947H155H452H5307H5221H4325H559H3068H430H452H5221H4325H2673H477H567415And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.H1121H5030H3405H7200H559H7307H452H5117H477H935H7125H7812H77616And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.H559H3426H5650H2572H2428H1121H582H3212H1245H113H7307H3068H5375H7993H259H2022H259H1516H559H797117And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.H6484H954H559H7971H7971H2572H376H1245H7969H3117H467218And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?H7725H3427H3405H559H559H321219And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.H582H5892H559H477H4186H5892H2896H113H7200H4325H7451H776H792120And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.H559H3947H2319H6746H7760H4417H394721And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.H3318H4161H4325H7993H4417H559H559H3068H7495H4325H4194H792122So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.H4325H7495H3117H1697H477H169623And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.H5927H1008H5927H1870H3318H6996H5288H5892H7046H559H5927H7142H5927H714224And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.H6437H310H7200H7043H8034H3068H3318H8147H1677H3293H1234H705H8147H320625And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.H3212H2022H3760H7725H8111
