Aram had ordered his thirty-
two chariot commanders, “Do not fight with
anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel.”
Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the
two captains of the former
fifties with their
fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.
Behold, fire has come down from heaven and consumed the first two captains of fifty, with all their men. But now may my life be precious in your sight.”
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
Elijah said to
Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to the Jordan.” But
Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you
yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the
two of them went on.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view
afar off: and they
two stood by Jordan.
Then a company of fifty of the sons of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing
Elijah and
Elisha as the
two of them stood by the Jordan.
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
Elijah took his
cloak, rolled it up, and struck the waters, which parted to the right and to the left, so that the
two of them crossed over on dry ground.
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.
As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a
chariot of fire with horses of fire appeared and separated the
two of them, and
Elijah went up into heaven in a
whirlwind.
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 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.
Then he turned around, looked at them, and called down a
curse on them in the name of the LORD. Suddenly
two female bears came out of the woods and
mauled forty-
two of the boys.
Now there
cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto
Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the
creditor is come to take unto him my
two sons to be
bondmen.
Now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets
cried out to
Elisha, “Your servant, my husband, is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And now his
creditor is coming to take my
two children as his slaves!”
He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them
twain, and prayed unto the LORD.
So he went in, closed the door behind the two of them, and prayed to the LORD.
