    1Elijah Makes a Swift Departure Just before the LORD took Elijah up to heaven in a windstorm, Elijah and Elisha were traveling from Gilgal.

    2Elijah told Elisha,“Stay here, for the LORD has sent me to Bethel.” But Elisha said,“As certainly as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.

    3Some members of the prophetic guild in Bethel came out to Elisha and said,“Do you know that today the LORD is going to take your master from you?” He answered,“Yes, I know. Be quiet.”

    4Elijah said to him,“Elisha, stay here, for the LORD has sent me to Jericho.” But he replied,“As certainly as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho.

    5Some members of the prophetic guild in Jericho approached Elisha and said,“Do you know that today the LORD is going to take your master from you?” He answered,“Yes, I know. Be quiet.”

    6Elijah said to him,“Stay here, for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan.” But he replied,“As certainly as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they traveled on together.

    7The fifty members of the prophetic guild went and stood opposite them at a distance, while Elijah and Elisha stood by the Jordan.

    8Elijah took his cloak, folded it up, and hit the water with it. The water divided, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground.

    9When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha,“What can I do for you, before I am taken away from you?” Elisha answered,“May I receive a double portion of the prophetic spirit that energizes you.”

    10Elijah replied,“That’s a difficult request! If you see me taken from you, may it be so, but if you don’t, it will not happen.”

    11As they were walking along and talking, suddenly a fiery chariot pulled by fiery horses appeared. They went between Elijah and Elisha, and Elijah went up to heaven in a windstorm.

    12While Elisha was watching, he was crying out,“My father, my father! The chariot and horsemen of Israel!” Then he could no longer see him. He grabbed his clothes and tore them in two.

    13He picked up Elijah’s cloak, which had fallen off him, and went back and stood on the shore of the Jordan.

    16They said to him,“Look, there are fifty capable men with your servants. Let them go and look for your master, for the wind sent from the LORD may have carried him away and dropped him on one of the hills or in one of the valleys.” But Elisha replied,“Don’t send them out.”
