1
And it came
about when the LORD
was about to take
up Elijah
by a whirlwind
to heaven,
that Elijah
went
with Elisha
from Gilgal.
2
Elijah
said
to Elisha,
"Stay
here
please,
for the LORD
has sent
me as far
as Bethel."
But Elisha
said
,
"As the LORD
lives
and as you yourself
live,
I will not leave
you." So they went down
to Bethel.
3
Then the sons
of the prophets
who
were at Bethel
came
out to Elisha
and said
to him, "Do you know
that the LORD
will take
away your master
from over
you today?"
And he said,
"Yes,
I know;
be still."
4
Elijah
said
to him, "Elisha,
please
stay
here,
for the LORD
has sent
me
to Jericho.
"
But he
said
,
"As the LORD
lives,
and as you yourself
live,
I will not leave
you." So they came
to Jericho.
5
The sons
of the prophets
who
were at Jericho
approached
Elisha
and said
to him, "Do you know
that the LORD
will take
away your master
from over
you today?"
And he answered,
"Yes,
I know;
be still."
6
Then Elijah
said
to him, "Please
stay
here,
for the LORD
has sent
me to the Jordan."
And he
said
,
"As the LORD
lives,
and as you yourself
live,
I will not leave
you." So the two
of them went
on.
7
Now fifty
men
of the sons
of the prophets
went
and stood
opposite
them at a distance,
while the two
of them stood
by the Jordan.
8
Elijah
took
his mantle
and folded it together
and struck
the waters,
and they were divided
here
and there,
so that the two
of them crossed over
on dry ground.
9
When they had crossed over,
Elijah
said
to Elisha,
"Ask
what
I shall do
for you before
I am taken
from you." And Elisha
said
,
"Please,
let a double
portion
of your spirit
be upon me."
10
He said,
"You have asked
a hard thing.
Nevertheless, if
you see
me when I am taken
from you, it shall be so
for you; but if
not, it shall not be so."
11
As they were going
along and talking,
behold,
there appeared a chariot
of fire
and horses
of fire
which separated
the two
of them. And Elijah
went
up by a whirlwind
to heaven.
12
Elisha
saw
it and cried
out, "My father,
my father,
the chariots
of Israel
and its horsemen!"
And he
saw
Elijah no
more.
Then he took hold
of his own clothes
and tore
them in two
pieces.
13
He also took
up the mantle
of Elijah
that fell
from him and returned
and stood
by the bank
of the Jordan.
14
He took
the mantle
of Elijah
that fell
from him and struck
the waters
and said,
"Where
is the LORD,
the God
of Elijah
?"
And when he also
had struck
the waters
,
they were divided
here
and there;
and Elisha
crossed over.
15
Now when the sons
of the prophets
who
were at Jericho
opposite
him saw
him, they said,
"The spirit
of Elijah
rests
on Elisha."
And they came
to meet
him and bowed
themselves to the ground
before him.
16
They said
to him, "Behold
now,
there
are with your servants
fifty
strong
men,
please
let them go
and search
for your master;
perhaps
the Spirit
of the LORD
has taken
him up and cast
him on some
mountain
or
into some
valley."
And he said,
"You shall not send."
17
But when they urged
him until
he was ashamed,
he said,
"Send."
They sent
therefore fifty
men;
and they searched
three
days
but did not find
him.
18
They returned
to him while he was staying
at Jericho;
and he said
to them, "Did I not say
to you, 'Do not go '?"
19
Then the men
of the city
said
to Elisha,
"Behold
now, the situation
of this city
is pleasant,
as my lord
sees;
but the water
is bad
and the land
is unfruitful."
20
He said,
"Bring
me a new
jar,
and put
salt
in it." So they brought
it to him.
21
He went
out to the spring
of water
and threw
salt
in it and said,
"Thus
says
the LORD,
'
I have purified
these
waters;
there shall not be from there
death
or unfruitfulness
any longer.'"
22
So the waters
have been purified
to this
day,
according to the word
of Elisha
which
he spoke.
23
Then he went
up from there
to Bethel;
and as he was
go
ing
up by the way,
young
lads
came
out from the city
and mocked
him and said
to him, "Go
up, you baldhead;
go
up, you baldhead!"
24
When he looked
behind
him and saw
them, he cursed
them in the name
of the LORD.
Then two
female bears
came
out of the woods
and tore
up forty-two
lads
of their number.
25
He went
from there
to Mount
Carmel,
and
from there
he returned
to Samaria.
