King James Version
And it cometh
to pass, at
Jehovah's
taking
up Elijah in
a whirlwind to
the
heavens
, that Elijah goeth,
and
Elisha ,
from Gilgal ,
And it came
to pass, when
the
LORD
would
take
up Elijah into
heaven
by
a whirlwind, that Elijah went
with
Elisha from Gilgal .
and Elijah saith
unto Elisha, `Abide
, I pray thee ,
here,
for Jehovah
hath sent me unto
Beth-El;'
and Elisha saith
, `Jehovah
liveth, and thy soul liveth, if
I leave thee ;'
and
they go
down to Beth-El
.
And 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
.
And sons of the prophets who
`are'
in
Beth-El
come
out
unto
Elisha, and say
unto him, `Hast
thou known
that to-day
Jehovah
is
taking
thy
lord from thy head? '
and he saith
, `
I also
have
known
--
keep
silent
. '
And 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
.
And Elijah saith
to
him, `
Elisha, abide
, I pray thee ,
here,
for Jehovah
hath sent me to Jericho ;'
and he saith
, `Jehovah
liveth, and thy soul liveth, if
I leave thee ;'
and
they come
in
to Jericho.
And 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.
And sons of the prophets who
`are'
in
Jericho come
nigh
unto
Elisha, and say
unto him, `Hast
thou known
that to-day
Jehovah
is
taking
thy
lord from thy head? '
and he saith
, `
I also
have
known
--
keep
silent
. '
And 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
.
And Elijah saith
to
him, `Abide
, I pray thee, here ,
for Jehovah
hath sent me to the
Jordan ;'
and he saith
, `Jehovah
liveth, and thy soul liveth, if
I leave thee ;'
and they go
on both
of
them,
And 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 .
--
and fifty men of the sons of the prophets have
gone
on
, and stand
over-against
afar off --
and both
of
them
have
stood by the
Jordan.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went
, and stood
to
view
afar off :
and they
two
stood by Jordan.
And Elijah taketh
his robe
, and wrappeth
`
it '
together, and smiteth
the waters, and they are
halved,
hither and thither, and
they pass
over both
of
them
on dry land
.
And 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
.
And it cometh
to pass, at
their
passing
over, that Elijah hath
said unto Elisha, `
Ask ,
what do
I do for thee before I am
taken from thee ?'
and Elisha saith,
`Then
let
there
be
, I pray thee, a double portion of thy spirit unto
me ;'
And 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 .
and he saith
, `
Thou hast asked a hard thing ;
if thou dost
see me taken from thee, it is
to
thee
so; and
if not, it is
not. '
And 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
.
And it cometh
to pass, they are
going,
going
on and
speaking
, and lo
, a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and they
separate
between
them both ,
and Elijah goeth
up in
a whirlwind ,
to
the
heavens
.
And 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
.
And Elisha is
seeing
, and he is
crying
, `
My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and its
horsemen ;'
and he hath
not
seen
him again;
and he taketh
hold on
his garments
, and rendeth
them into
two pieces.
And 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.
And
he taketh
up the robe
of Elijah ,
that fell from off
him, and turneth
back and standeth
on
the edge
of the
Jordan ,
He took
up also
the mantle
of Elijah that fell from him, and went
back ,
and stood
by
the bank
of Jordan ;
and he taketh
the robe
of Elijah that fell from off
him, and smiteth
the waters, and saith
, `
Where `
is '
Jehovah,
God of Elijah --
even
He
? '
and he smiteth
the waters, and
they are
halved,
hither and thither ,
and Elisha passeth
over.
And 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.
And they
see
him
--
the sons of the prophets who
`are'
in
Jericho --
over-against
, and
they say
, `Rested
hath
the spirit of Elijah on Elisha ;'
and they come
to meet him, and bow
themselves to him
to
the earth,
And 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.
and say
unto him, `Lo,
we
pray
thee
, there are
with thy servants fifty men ,
sons
of
valour:
let them go, we pray thee, and they
seek thy lord,
lest the Spirit of Jehovah
hath taken him up, and doth
cast him on
one
of
the
hills
, or into one
of
the
valleys;'
and he saith
, `
Ye do
not send. '
And 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.
And they press
upon
him ,
till he is
ashamed, and
he saith
, `
Send ye;'
and
they send
fifty men ,
and they seek
three days, and
have
not
found him ;
And 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.
and they turn
back
unto
him --
and
he is
abiding
in
Jericho --
and
he saith
unto them, `
Did I not say unto you, Do
not
go? '
And when
they came
again
to
him ,
(for
he tarried
at
Jericho ,)
he said
unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not
?
And the men of the city say
unto Elisha, `Lo
, we
pray thee, the site
of the
city `
is '
good
, as my lord seeth ,
and
the waters
`are'
bad
, and the earth
sterile
. '
And 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
.
And he saith
, `
Bring to
me a new dish
, and place
there
salt ;'
and they bring
`
it '
unto
him ,
And he said
, Bring me a new cruse
, and put
salt therein.
And they brought
it to
him .
and he goeth
out
unto the source
of the waters, and casteth
there
salt, and saith
, `
Thus said
Jehovah
, I have given
healing
to
these waters; there is
not thence any more death and
sterility
. '
And 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
.
And
the waters are
healed unto this day, according to the word
of Elisha ,
that
he spake.
So
the waters were
healed unto this day, according to the saying
of Elisha which
he spake.
And he goeth
up thence to
Beth-El,
and he is
going up in
the way, and
little youths
have
come
out from
the city, and scoff
at
him, and say
to
him, `
Go up, bald -
head !
go up, bald -
head !'
And 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 .
And he looketh
behind
him
, and seeth
them, and declareth
them vile
in the name of Jehovah,
and two bears come
out of the forest
, and rend
of
them
forty and two lads
.
And 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
.
And he goeth
thence unto
the
hill
of
Carmel, and thence he hath
turned
back
to Samaria.
And he went
from
thence to
mount
Carmel, and from
thence he returned
to Samaria.
