So they went downto Bethel.3And the sonsof the prophetsthat [were] at Bethelcame forthto Elisha,and saidunto him, Knowestthou that the LORDwill take awaythy masterfrom thy headto day?And he said,Yea, I know[it]; hold ye your peace.

4And Elijahsaidunto him, Elisha,tarryhere, I pray thee; for the LORDhath sentme to Jericho.And he said,[As] the LORDliveth,and [as] thy soulliveth,I will not leavethee. So they cameto Jericho.5And the sonsof the prophetsthat [were] at Jerichocameto Elisha,and saidunto him, Knowestthou that the LORDwill take awaythy masterfrom thy headto day?And he answered,Yea, I know[it]; hold ye your peace.6And Elijahsaidunto him, Tarry,I pray thee, here; for the LORDhath sentme to Jordan.And he said,[As] the LORDliveth,and [as] thy soulliveth,I will not leavethee. And they twowent on.

7And fiftymenof the sonsof the prophetswent,and stoodto viewafar off:and they twostoodby Jordan.8And Elijahtookhis mantle,and wrapped [it] together,and smotethe waters,and they were dividedhither and thither, so that they twowent overon dryground.

9And it came to pass, when they were gone over,that Elijahsaidunto Elisha,Askwhat I shall dofor thee, before I be taken awayfrom thee. And Elishasaid,I pray thee, let a doubleportionof thy spiritbe upon me.10And he said,Thou hast askeda hard thing:[nevertheless], if thou seeme [when I am] takenfrom thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be [so].11And it came to pass, as they stillwent on,and talked,that, behold, [there appeared] a chariotof fire,and horsesof fire,and partedthem bothasunder;and Elijahwent upby a whirlwindinto heaven.12And Elishasaw[it], and he cried,My father,my father,the chariotof Israel,and the horsementhereof. And he sawhim no more: and he took holdof his own clothes,and rentthem in twopieces.13He took upalso the mantleof Elijahthat fellfrom him, and went back,and stoodby the bankof Jordan;14And he tookthe mantleof Elijahthat fellfrom him, and smotethe waters,and said,Where [is] the LORDGodof Elijah?and when he also had smittenthe waters,they partedhither and thither: and Elishawent over.
