When the LORD was about to take Elijah up by a whirlwind into heaven, Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. Gen 5:24Heb 11:51Ki 19:16-211Ki 19:11Jos 4:19Jos 5:91Ki 18:121Ki 19:4 Elijah said to Elisha, “Please wait here, for the LORD has sent me as far as Bethel.” 2Ki 2:62Ki 4:30Rut 1:15-181Sa 1:262Ki 2:42Sa 15:19-21Jhn 6:67-681Ki 12:33
Elisha said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.
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?” 2Ki 4:12Ki 4:381Ki 20:352Ki 9:11Ki 18:41Sa 10:10-121Sa 19:202Ki 2:15
He said, “Yes, I know it. Hold your peace.”
Elijah said to him, “Elisha, please wait here, for the LORD has sent me to Jericho.” 2Ki 2:2Jos 6:261Ki 16:342Ki 4:30Luk 19:1Act 11:23Act 2:42
He said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So they came to Jericho.
The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?” 2Ki 2:3Act 1:11Act 1:2Ecc 3:7Gen 48:19Hab 2:20Isa 41:1Jhn 17:5-7
He answered, “Yes, I know it. Hold your peace.”
Elijah said to him, “Please wait here, for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan.” 2Ki 2:2Jos 3:15
He said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” Then they both went on. Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan. 1Ki 18:131Ki 18:42Ki 2:17 Elijah took his mantle, and rolled it up, and struck the waters; and they were divided here and there, so that they both went over on dry ground. 1Ki 19:19Exo 14:21-22Jos 3:14-172Ki 2:141Ki 19:13Heb 11:29Isa 11:15Psa 114:5-7 When they had gone over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you.” Num 11:17Deu 21:17Jhn 16:7Act 20:25-36Act 1:8Act 8:17Num 11:25Zec 12:8
Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be on me.”
He said, “You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it will be so for you; but if not, it will not be so.” Jhn 16:24Mrk 11:22-242Ki 2:12Act 1:9-10
As they continued on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 2Ki 6:17Psa 104:3-4Heb 1:14Psa 68:17Ezk 1:4-28Ezk 10:9-22Hab 3:8Mrk 16:19 Elisha saw it, and he cried, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” 2Ki 13:142Co 5:22Co 5:4Act 1:9Act 8:2Eph 4:8Isa 37:15Isa 37:21
He saw him no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. He also took up Elijah’s mantle that fell from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan. 1Ki 19:192Ki 2:81Ki 9:26 He took Elijah’s mantle that fell from him, and struck the waters, and said, “Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah?” When he also had struck the waters, they were divided apart, and Elisha went over. Jhn 14:12Psa 42:10Psa 115:2Act 3:12-13Jos 1:1-92Ki 2:8-10Act 2:33Jdg 6:13
When the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho facing him saw him, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” They came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him. 1Pe 4:14Act 1:82Co 12:92Ki 2:192Ki 2:72Ki 4:1-42Ki 4:372Ki 6:1-7 They said to him, “See now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. Perhaps the LORD’s Spirit has taken him up, and put him on some mountain or into some valley.” 1Ki 18:12Act 8:392Co 12:2-3Ezk 11:24Ezk 3:14Ezk 40:2Ezk 8:3
He said, “Don’t send them.”
When they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, “Send them.” 2Ki 8:112Sa 18:22-23Heb 11:5Luk 11:8Rom 10:2
Therefore they sent fifty men; and they searched for three days, but didn’t find him. They came back to him while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you, ‘Don’t go’?”
The men of the city said to Elisha, “Behold, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land is barren.” Deu 28:2-4Exo 23:26Deu 28:11Deu 28:15-181Ki 16:34Exo 15:23Exo 7:19Num 12:11
He said, “Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it.” Then they brought it to him. Jdg 9:45Zep 2:9Ezk 47:11 He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, “The LORD says, ‘I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or barren wasteland.’” Exo 15:25-262Ki 4:41Lev 2:132Ki 6:6Rev 21:4Rev 22:2-3Jhn 9:6Mrk 9:50 So the waters were healed to this day, according to Elisha’s word which he spoke.
He went up from there to Bethel. As he was going up by the way, some youths came out of the city and mocked him, and said to him, “Go up, you baldy! Go up, you baldy!” 2Ch 36:16Job 19:18Job 30:1Amo 5:5Gen 21:9Pro 22:6Psa 31:181Ki 12:28-32 He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the LORD’s name. Then two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of those youths. Act 13:9-11Act 5:5Act 5:9Amo 7:17Hos 13:81Ki 13:241Ki 19:171Ki 20:36 He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria. 2Ki 4:251Ki 18:19-201Ki 18:42
