12:001:018 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
12:002:001 And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
12:002:002 And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the
LORD hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the
LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So
they went down to Bethel.
12:002:003 And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to
Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will
take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I
know it; hold ye your peace.
12:002:004 And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for
the LORD hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the LORD
liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they
came to Jericho.
12:002:005 And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to
Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will
take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered,
Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
12:002:006 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.
12:002:007 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.
12:002:008 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.
12:002:009 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
