II Kings 2 (kjv)

And it came to pass, when the LORD^H3068 would take up^H5927 Elijah^H452 into heaven^H8064 by a whirlwind^H5591, that Elijah^H452 went^H3212 with Elisha^H477 from Gilgal^H1537.²And Elijah^H452 said^H559 unto Elisha^H477, Tarry^H3427 here, I pray thee; for the LORD^H3068 hath sent^H7971 me to Bethel^H1008. And Elisha^H477 said^H559 unto him, As the LORD^H3068 liveth^H2416, and as thy soul^H5315 liveth^H2416, I will not leave^H5800 thee. So they went down^H3381 to Bethel^H1008.³And the sons^H1121 of the prophets^H5030 that were at Bethel^H1008 came forth^H3318 to Elisha^H477, and said^H559 unto him, Knowest^H3045 thou that the LORD^H3068 will take away^H3947 thy master^H113 from thy head^H7218 to day^H3117? And he said^H559, Yea, I know^H3045 it; hold ye your peace^H2814.⁴And Elijah^H452 said^H559 unto him, Elisha^H477, tarry^H3427 here, I pray thee; for the LORD^H3068 hath sent^H7971 me to Jericho^H3405. And he said^H559, As the LORD^H3068 liveth^H2416, and as thy soul^H5315 liveth^H2416, I will not leave^H5800 thee. So they came^H935 to Jericho^H3405.⁵And the sons^H1121 of the prophets^H5030 that were at Jericho^H3405 came^H5066 to Elisha^H477, and said^H559 unto him, Knowest^H3045 thou that the LORD^H3068 will take away^H3947 thy master^H113 from thy head^H7218 to day^H3117? And he answered^H559, Yea, I know^H3045 it; hold ye your peace^H2814.⁶And Elijah^H452 said^H559 unto him, Tarry^H3427, I pray thee, here; for the LORD^H3068 hath sent^H7971 me to Jordan^H3383. And he said^H559, As the LORD^H3068 liveth^H2416, and as thy soul^H5315 liveth^H2416, I will not leave^H5800 thee. And they two^H8147 went on^H3212.⁷And fifty^H2572 men^H376 of the sons^H1121 of the prophets^H5030 went^H1980, and stood^H5975 to view^H5048 afar off^H7350: and they two^H8147 stood^H5975 by Jordan^H3383.⁸And Elijah^H452 took^H3947 his mantle^H155, and wrapped it together^H1563, and smote^H5221 the waters^H4325, and they were divided^H2673 hither and thither, so that they two^H8147 went over^H5674 on dry^H2724 ground.

⁹And it came to pass, when they were gone over^H5674, that Elijah^H452 said^H559 unto Elisha^H477, Ask^H7592 what I shall do^H6213 for thee, before I be taken away^H3947 from thee. And Elisha^H477 said^H559, I pray thee, let a double^H8147 portion^H6310 of thy spirit^H7307 be upon me.¹⁰And he said^H559, Thou hast asked^H7592 a hard thing^H7185: nevertheless, if thou see^H7200 me when I am taken^H3947 from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.¹¹And it came to pass, as they still^H1980 went on^H1980, and talked^H1696, that, behold, there appeared a chariot^H7393 of fire^H784, and horses^H5483 of fire^H784, and parted^H6504 them both^H8147 asunder^H996; and Elijah^H452 went up^H5927 by a whirlwind^H5591 into heaven^H8064.

¹²And Elisha^H477 saw^H7200 it, and he cried^H6817, My father^H1, my father^H1, the chariot^H7393 of Israel^H3478, and the horsemen^H6571 thereof. And he saw^H7200 him no more: and he took hold^H2388 of his own clothes^H899, and rent^H7167 them in two^H8147 pieces^H7168.¹³He took up^H7311 also the mantle^H155 of Elijah^H452 that fell^H5307 from him, and went back^H7725, and stood^H5975 by the bank^H8193 of Jordan^H3383;¹⁴And he took^H3947 the mantle^H155 of Elijah^H452 that fell^H5307 from him, and smote^H5221 the waters^H4325, and said^H559, Where is the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Elijah^H452? and when he also had smitten^H5221 the waters^H4325, they parted^H2673 hither and thither: and Elisha^H477 went over^H5674.¹⁵And when the sons^H1121 of the prophets^H5030 which were to view at Jericho^H3405 saw^H7200 him, they said^H559, The spirit^H7307 of Elijah^H452 doth rest^H5117 on Elisha^H477. And they came^H935 to meet^H7125 him, and bowed^H7812 themselves to the ground^H776 before him.

¹⁶And they said^H559 unto him, Behold now, there be^H3426 with thy servants^H5650 fifty^H2572 strong^H2428 men^{H1121 H582}; let them go^H3212, we pray thee, and seek^H1245 thy master^H113: lest peradventure the Spirit^H7307 of the LORD^H3068 hath taken him up^H5375, and cast^H7993 him upon some^H259 mountain^H2022, or into some^H259 valley^H1516. And he said^H559, Ye shall not send^H7971.¹⁷And when they urged^H6484 him till he was ashamed^H954, he said^H559, Send^H7971. They sent^H7971 therefore fifty^H2572 men^H376; and they sought^H1245 three^H7969 days^H3117, but found^H4672 him not.¹⁸And when they came again^H7725 to him, (for he tarried^H3427 at Jericho^H3405,) he said^H559 unto them, Did I not say^H559 unto you, Go^H3212 not?

¹⁹And the men^H582 of the city^H5892 said^H559 unto Elisha^H477, Behold, I pray thee, the situation^H4186 of this city^H5892 is pleasant^H2896, as my lord^H113 seeth^H7200: but the water^H4325 is naught^H7451, and the ground^H776 barren^H7921.²⁰And he said^H559, Bring^H3947 me a new^H2319 cruse^H6746, and put^H7760 salt^H4417 therein. And they brought^H3947 it to him.²¹And he went forth^H3318 unto the spring^H4161 of the waters^H4325, and cast^H7993 the salt^H4417 in there, and said^H559, Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068, I have healed^H7495 these waters^H4325; there shall not be from thence any more death^H4194 or barren^H7921 land.²²So the waters^H4325 were healed^H7495 unto this day^H3117, according to the saying^H1697 of Elisha^H477 which he spake^H1696.

²³And he went up^H5927 from thence unto Bethel^H1008: and as he was going up^H5927 by the way^H1870, there came forth^H3318 little^H6996 children^H5288 out of the city^H5892, and mocked^H7046 him, and said^H559 unto him, Go up^H5927, thou bald head^H7142; go up^H5927, thou bald head^H7142.²⁴And he turned^H6437 back^H310, and looked^H7200 on them, and cursed^H7043 them in the name^H8034 of the LORD^H3068. And there came forth^H3318 two^H8147 she bears^H1677 out of the wood^H3293, and tare^H1234 forty^H705 and two^H8147 children^H3206 of them.²⁵And he went^H3212 from thence to mount^H2022 Carmel^H3760, and from thence he returned^H7725 to Samaria^H8111.
