2 Kings 2:1 And it came to pass, when the LORD3068 would take up5927 Elijah452 into heaven8064 by a whirlwind,5591 that Elijah452 went3212 with Elisha477 from Gilgal.15372 And Elijah452 said559 unto Elisha,477 Tarry3427 here, I pray thee; for the LORD3068 hath sent7971 me to Bethel.1008 And Elisha477 said559untohim,As the LORD3068 liveth,2416 and as thy soul5315 liveth,2416 I will not leave5800 thee. So they went down3381 to Bethel.10083 And the sons1121 of the prophets5030 that were at Bethel1008 came forth3318 to Elisha,477 and said559 unto him, Knowest3045 thou that the LORD3068 will take away3947 thy master113 from thy head7218 to day?3117 And he said,559 Yea, I know3045it; hold ye your peace.28144 And Elijah452 said559 unto him, Elisha,477 tarry3427 here, I pray thee; for the LORD3068 hath sent7971 me to Jericho.3405 And he said,559As the LORD3068 liveth,2416 and as thy soul5315 liveth,2416 I will not leave5800 thee. So they came935 to Jericho.34055 And the sons1121 of the prophets5030 that were at Jericho3405 came5066 to Elisha,477 and said559 unto him, Knowest3045 thou that the LORD3068 will take away3947 thy master113 from thy head7218 to day?3117 And he answered,559 Yea, I know3045it; hold ye your peace.28146 And Elijah452 said559 unto him, Tarry,3427 I pray thee, here; for the LORD3068 hath sent7971 me to Jordan.3383 And he said,559As the LORD3068 liveth,2416 and as thy soul5315 liveth,2416 I will not leave5800 thee. And they two8147 went on.32127 And fifty2572 men376 of the sons1121 of the prophets5030 went,1980 and stood5975 to view5048{Heb. in sight, or, over against} afar off:7350 and they two8147 stood5975 by Jordan.33838 And Elijah452 took3947 his mantle,155 and wrapped it together,1563 and smote5221 the waters,4325 and they were divided2673 hither and thither, so that they two8147 went over5674 on dry2724 ground.
2 Kings 2:9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over,5674 that Elijah452 said559 unto Elisha,477 Ask7592 what I shall do6213 for thee, before I be taken away3947 from thee. And Elisha477 said,559 I pray thee, let a double8147 portion6310 of thy spirit7307 be upon me.
10 And he said,559 Thou hast asked7592 a hard thing:7185{Heb. thou hast done hard in asking}nevertheless, if thou see7200 me whenIam taken3947 from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.11 And it came to pass, as they still1980 went on,1980 and talked,1696 that, behold, thereappeared a chariot7393 of fire,784 and horses5483 of fire,784 and parted6504 them both8147 asunder;996 and Elijah452 went up5927 by a whirlwind5591 into heaven.8064
2 Kings 2:12 And Elisha477 saw7200it, and he cried,6817 My father,1 my father,1 the chariot7393 of Israel,3478 and the horsemen6571 thereof. And he saw7200 him no more: and he took hold2388 of his own clothes,899 and rent7167 them in two8147 pieces.716813 He took up7311 also the mantle155 of Elijah452 that fell5307 from him, and went back,7725 and stood5975 by the bank8193{Heb. lip} of Jordan;338314 And he took3947 the mantle155 of Elijah452 that fell5307 from him, and smote5221 the waters,4325 and said,559 Where is the LORD3068 God430 of Elijah?452 and when he also had smitten5221 the waters,4325 they parted2673 hither and thither: and Elisha477 went over.567415 And when the sons1121 of the prophets5030 which were to view at Jericho3405 saw7200 him, they said,559 The spirit7307 of Elijah452 doth rest5117 on Elisha.477 And they came935 to meet7125 him, and bowed7812 themselves to the ground776 before him.
2 Kings 2:16 And they said559 unto him, Behold now, there be3426 with thy servants5650 fifty2572 strong2428 men;1121582{Heb. sons of strength} let them go,3212 we pray thee, and seek1245 thy master:113 lest peradventure the Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 hath taken him up,5375 and cast7993 him upon some259 mountain,2022{Heb. one of the mountains} or into some259 valley.1516 And he said,559 Ye shall not send.797117 And when they urged6484 him till he was ashamed,954 he said,559 Send.7971 They sent7971 therefore fifty2572 men;376 and they sought1245 three7969 days,3117 but found4672 him not.
18 And when they came again7725 to him, (for he tarried3427 at Jericho,)3405 he said559 unto them, Did I not say559 unto you, Go3212 not?
2 Kings 2:19 And the men582 of the city5892 said559 unto Elisha,477 Behold, I pray thee, the situation4186 of this city5892is pleasant,2896 as my lord113 seeth:7200 but the water4325is naught,7451 and the ground776 barren.7921{Heb. causing to miscarry}20 And he said,559 Bring3947 me a new2319 cruse,6746 and put7760 salt4417 therein. And they brought3947it to him.
21 And he went forth3318 unto the spring4161 of the waters,4325 and cast7993 the salt4417 in there, and said,559 Thus saith559 the LORD,3068 I have healed7495 these waters;4325 there shall not be from thence any more death4194 or barren7921land.22 So the waters4325 were healed7495 unto this day,3117 according to the saying1697 of Elisha477 which he spake.1696
2 Kings 2:23 And he went up5927 from thence unto Bethel:1008 and as he was going up5927 by the way,1870 there came forth3318 little6996 children5288 out of the city,5892 and mocked7046 him, and said559 unto him, Go up,5927 thou bald head;7142 go up,5927 thou bald head.714224 And he turned6437 back,310 and looked7200 on them, and cursed7043 them in the name8034 of the LORD.3068 And there came forth3318 two8147 she bears1677 out of the wood,3293 and tare1234 forty705 and two8147 children3206 of them.
25 And he went3212 from thence to mount2022 Carmel,3760 and from thence he returned7725 to Samaria.8111
