Chapter 2

1 AND it came to pass, when the LORD was about to take Elijah up to heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha had departed from Gilgal.

2 And Elijah said to Elisha, Wait for me here, for the LORD has sent me to Beth-el. And Elisha said, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they went down to Beth-el.

3 And the sons of the prophets who were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha and said to him, Do you know that today the LORD will take away your master from over you? And he said, Yes, I also know it: hold your peace.

4 And Elijah said to Elisha, Wait for me here; for the LORD has sent me to Jericho. And he said. As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they came to Jericho.

5 And the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho drew near to Elisha and said to him, Do you know that today the LORD will take away your master from over you? And he answered, Yes, I also know it; hold your peace.

6 And Elijah said to Elisha, Wait for me here; for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan. And he said, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. And they two went on.

7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood to watch from afar; and they two stood by the Jordan.

8 Then Elijah took his mantle and wrapped it together and struck the waters of the Jordan, and they were divided half hither and half thither, so that they two crossed on dry ground.

9 And when they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken away from you. And Elisha said, Let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.

10 And he said, You have asked too much; nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so to you; but if not, it shall not be so.

11 And it came to pass, as they still went on and talked, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire, and separated the two; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

12 And Elisha saw it and he cried, saying, 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 tore them in two pieces.

13 Then he took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan;

14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the waters and said, O LORD, the God of my lord Elijah! And when he also had struck the waters of the Jordan, they parted half hither and half thither; and Elisha went over.

15 And when the sons of the prophets who came to watch at Jericho 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 And they said to him, Behold now, there are with your servants fifty strong men; let them go and seek your master, lest peradventure the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up and cast him upon one of the mountains or into one of the valleys. And he said, You shall not send.

17 And when they urged him till he was embarrassed, he said, Send. So they sent therefore fifty men; and they sought him for three days, but found him not.

18 And when they came back to him (while he tarried at Jericho), he said to them, Did I not say to you, Do not go?

19 And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, the situation of the city is pleasant, as our lord sees; but the water is bad and the ground is barren.

20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse and put salt in it. And they brought it to him.

21 And he went forth to the spring of water and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus says the LORD: I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.

22 So the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.

23 And he went up from thence to Beth-el; and as he was going up along the way, there came forth little boys out of the city and mocked him, saying, Go up, you bald head, go up, you bald head.

24 And he turned back and saw them and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she-bears out of the forest, and tore forty-two of the boys.

25 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.

Chapter 2

1 And it came1961 to pass, when the LORD3068 would take5927 up Elijah452 into heaven8064 by a whirlwind,5591 that Elijah452 went3212 with Elisha477 from Gilgal.1537

2 And Elijah452 said559 to Elisha,477 Tarry3427 here,6311 I pray4994 you; for the LORD3068 has sent7971 me to Bethel.1008 And Elisha477 said559 to him, As the LORD3068 lives,2416 and as your soul5315 lives,2416 I will not leave5800 you. So they went3381 down3381 to Bethel.1008

3 And the sons1121 of the prophets5030 that were at Bethel1008 came3318 forth3318 to Elisha,477 and said559 to him, Know3045 you that the LORD3068 will take3947 away your master113 from your head7218 to day?3117 And he said,559 Yes,1571 I know3045 it; hold2814 you your peace.2814

4 And Elijah452 said559 to him, Elisha,477 tarry3427 here,6311 I pray4994 you; for the LORD3068 has sent7971 me to Jericho.3405 And he said,559 As the LORD3068 lives,2416 and as your soul5315 lives,2416 I will not leave5800 you. So they came935 to Jericho.3405

5 And the sons1121 of the prophets5030 that were at Jericho3405 came5066 to Elisha,477 and said559 to him, Know3045 you that the LORD3068 will take3947 away your master113 from your head7218 to day?3117 And he answered,559 Yes,1571 I know3045 it; hold2814 you your peace.2814

6 And Elijah452 said559 to him, Tarry,3427 I pray4994 you, here;6311 for the LORD3068 has sent7971 me to Jordan.3383 And he said,559 As the LORD3068 lives,2416 and as your soul5315 lives,2416 I will not leave5800 you. And they two8147 went3212 on.

7 And fifty2572 men376 of the sons1121 of the prophets5030 went,1980 and stood5975 to view5048 afar7350 off: and they two8147 stood5975 by Jordan.3383

8 And Elijah452 took3947 his mantle,155 and wrapped1563 it together, and smote5221 the waters,4325 and they were divided2673 here and thither,2008 so that they two8147 went5674 over5674 on dry2724 ground.

9 And it came1961 to pass, when they were gone5674 over,5674 that Elijah452 said559 to Elisha,477 Ask7592 what4100 I shall do6213 for you, before2962 I be taken3947 away from you. And Elisha477 said,559 I pray4994 you, let a double8147 portion6310 of your spirit7307 be on me.

10 And he said,559 You have asked7592 a hard7185 thing: nevertheless, if518 you see7200 me when I am taken3947 from you, it shall be so3651 to you; but if518 not, it shall not be so.

11 And it came1961 to pass, as they still went1980 on, and talked,1696 that, behold,2009 there appeared a chariot7393 of fire,784 and horses5483 of fire,784 and parted6504 them both8147 asunder;996 and Elijah452 went5927 up by a whirlwind5591 into heaven.8064

12 And Elisha477 saw7200 it, and he cried,6817 My father,1 my father,1 the chariot7393 of Israel,3478 and the horsemen6571 thereof. And he saw7200 him no3808 more:5750 and he took hold2388 of his own clothes,899 and rent7167 them in two8147 pieces.7168

13 He took7311 up also the mantle155 of Elijah452 that fell5307 from him, and went7725 back,7725 and stood5975 by the bank8193 of Jordan;3383

14 And he took3947 the mantle155 of Elijah452 that fell5307 from him, and smote5221 the waters,4325 and said,559 Where346 is the LORD3068 God430 of Elijah?452 and when he also had smitten5221 the waters,4325 they parted2673 here and thither:2008 and Elisha477 went5674 over.5674

15 And when the sons1121 of the prophets5030 which834 were to view5048 at Jericho3405 saw7200 him, they said,559 The spirit7307 of Elijah452 does rest5117 on5921 Elisha.477 And they came935 to meet7125 him, and bowed7812 themselves to the ground776 before him.

16 And they said559 to him, Behold2009 now,4994 there be with your servants5650 fifty2572 strong2428 men;582 1121 let them go,3212 we pray4994 you, and seek1245 your master:113 lest6435 peradventure the Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 has taken5375 him up, and cast7993 him on some259 mountain,2022 or176 into some259 valley.1516 And he said,559 You shall not send.7971

17 And when they urged6484 him till5704 he was ashamed,954 he said,559 Send.7971 They sent7971 therefore fifty2572 men;376 and they sought1245 three7969 days,3117 but found4672 him not.

18 And when they came7725 again7725 to him, (for he tarried3427 at Jericho,3405) he said559 to them, Did I not say559 to you, Go3212 not?

19 And the men582 of the city5892 said559 to Elisha,477 Behold,2009 I pray4994 you, the situation4186 of this2088 city5892 is pleasant,2896 as my lord113 sees:7200 but the water4325 is naught,7451 and the ground776 barren.7921

20 And he said,559 Bring3947 me a new2319 cruse,6746 and put7760 salt4417 therein.8033 And they brought3947 it to him.

21 And he went3318 forth3318 to the spring4161 of the waters,4325 and cast7993 the salt4417 in there,8033 and said,559 Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 I have healed7495 these428 waters;4325 there8033 shall not be from there any more5750 death4194 or barren7921 land.

22 So the waters4325 were healed7495 to this2088 day,3117 according to the saying1697 of Elisha477 which834 he spoke.1696

23 And he went5927 up from there8033 to Bethel:1008 and as he was going5927 up by the way,1870 there came3318 forth3318 little6996 children5288 out of the city,5892 and mocked7046 him, and said559 to him, Go5927 up, you bald7142 head; go5927 up, you bald7142 head.

24 And he turned6437 back,310 and looked7200 on them, and cursed7043 them in the name8034 of the LORD.3068 And there came3318 forth3318 two8147 she bears1677 out of the wood,3293 and tare1234 forty705 and two8147 children3206 of them.

25 And he went3212 from there8033 to mount2022 Carmel,3760 and from there8033 he returned7725 to Samaria.8111

1 AND it came to pass, when the LORD was about to take Elijah up to heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha had departed from Gilgal.

1 And it came1961 to pass, when the LORD3068 would take5927 up Elijah452 into heaven8064 by a whirlwind,5591 that Elijah452 went3212 with Elisha477 from Gilgal.1537

2 And Elijah said to Elisha, Wait for me here, for the LORD has sent me to Beth-el. And Elisha said, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they went down to Beth-el.

2 And Elijah452 said559 to Elisha,477 Tarry3427 here,6311 I pray4994 you; for the LORD3068 has sent7971 me to Bethel.1008 And Elisha477 said559 to him, As the LORD3068 lives,2416 and as your soul5315 lives,2416 I will not leave5800 you. So they went3381 down3381 to Bethel.1008

3 And the sons of the prophets who were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha and said to him, Do you know that today the LORD will take away your master from over you? And he said, Yes, I also know it: hold your peace.

3 And the sons1121 of the prophets5030 that were at Bethel1008 came3318 forth3318 to Elisha,477 and said559 to him, Know3045 you that the LORD3068 will take3947 away your master113 from your head7218 to day?3117 And he said,559 Yes,1571 I know3045 it; hold2814 you your peace.2814

4 And Elijah said to Elisha, Wait for me here; for the LORD has sent me to Jericho. And he said. As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they came to Jericho.

4 And Elijah452 said559 to him, Elisha,477 tarry3427 here,6311 I pray4994 you; for the LORD3068 has sent7971 me to Jericho.3405 And he said,559 As the LORD3068 lives,2416 and as your soul5315 lives,2416 I will not leave5800 you. So they came935 to Jericho.3405

5 And the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho drew near to Elisha and said to him, Do you know that today the LORD will take away your master from over you? And he answered, Yes, I also know it; hold your peace.

5 And the sons1121 of the prophets5030 that were at Jericho3405 came5066 to Elisha,477 and said559 to him, Know3045 you that the LORD3068 will take3947 away your master113 from your head7218 to day?3117 And he answered,559 Yes,1571 I know3045 it; hold2814 you your peace.2814

6 And Elijah said to Elisha, Wait for me here; for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan. And he said, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. And they two went on.

6 And Elijah452 said559 to him, Tarry,3427 I pray4994 you, here;6311 for the LORD3068 has sent7971 me to Jordan.3383 And he said,559 As the LORD3068 lives,2416 and as your soul5315 lives,2416 I will not leave5800 you. And they two8147 went3212 on.

7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood to watch from afar; and they two stood by the Jordan.

7 And fifty2572 men376 of the sons1121 of the prophets5030 went,1980 and stood5975 to view5048 afar7350 off: and they two8147 stood5975 by Jordan.3383

8 Then Elijah took his mantle and wrapped it together and struck the waters of the Jordan, and they were divided half hither and half thither, so that they two crossed on dry ground.

8 And Elijah452 took3947 his mantle,155 and wrapped1563 it together, and smote5221 the waters,4325 and they were divided2673 here and thither,2008 so that they two8147 went5674 over5674 on dry2724 ground.

9 And when they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken away from you. And Elisha said, Let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.

9 And it came1961 to pass, when they were gone5674 over,5674 that Elijah452 said559 to Elisha,477 Ask7592 what4100 I shall do6213 for you, before2962 I be taken3947 away from you. And Elisha477 said,559 I pray4994 you, let a double8147 portion6310 of your spirit7307 be on me.

10 And he said, You have asked too much; nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so to you; but if not, it shall not be so.

10 And he said,559 You have asked7592 a hard7185 thing: nevertheless, if518 you see7200 me when I am taken3947 from you, it shall be so3651 to you; but if518 not, it shall not be so.

11 And it came to pass, as they still went on and talked, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire, and separated the two; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

11 And it came1961 to pass, as they still went1980 on, and talked,1696 that, behold,2009 there appeared a chariot7393 of fire,784 and horses5483 of fire,784 and parted6504 them both8147 asunder;996 and Elijah452 went5927 up by a whirlwind5591 into heaven.8064

12 And Elisha saw it and he cried, saying, 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 tore them in two pieces.

12 And Elisha477 saw7200 it, and he cried,6817 My father,1 my father,1 the chariot7393 of Israel,3478 and the horsemen6571 thereof. And he saw7200 him no3808 more:5750 and he took hold2388 of his own clothes,899 and rent7167 them in two8147 pieces.7168

13 Then he took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan;

13 He took7311 up also the mantle155 of Elijah452 that fell5307 from him, and went7725 back,7725 and stood5975 by the bank8193 of Jordan;3383

14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the waters and said, O LORD, the God of my lord Elijah! And when he also had struck the waters of the Jordan, they parted half hither and half thither; and Elisha went over.

14 And he took3947 the mantle155 of Elijah452 that fell5307 from him, and smote5221 the waters,4325 and said,559 Where346 is the LORD3068 God430 of Elijah?452 and when he also had smitten5221 the waters,4325 they parted2673 here and thither:2008 and Elisha477 went5674 over.5674

15 And when the sons of the prophets who came to watch at Jericho 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.

15 And when the sons1121 of the prophets5030 which834 were to view5048 at Jericho3405 saw7200 him, they said,559 The spirit7307 of Elijah452 does rest5117 on5921 Elisha.477 And they came935 to meet7125 him, and bowed7812 themselves to the ground776 before him.

16 And they said to him, Behold now, there are with your servants fifty strong men; let them go and seek your master, lest peradventure the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up and cast him upon one of the mountains or into one of the valleys. And he said, You shall not send.

16 And they said559 to him, Behold2009 now,4994 there be with your servants5650 fifty2572 strong2428 men;582 1121 let them go,3212 we pray4994 you, and seek1245 your master:113 lest6435 peradventure the Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 has taken5375 him up, and cast7993 him on some259 mountain,2022 or176 into some259 valley.1516 And he said,559 You shall not send.7971

17 And when they urged him till he was embarrassed, he said, Send. So they sent therefore fifty men; and they sought him for three days, but found him not.

17 And when they urged6484 him till5704 he was ashamed,954 he said,559 Send.7971 They sent7971 therefore fifty2572 men;376 and they sought1245 three7969 days,3117 but found4672 him not.

18 And when they came back to him (while he tarried at Jericho), he said to them, Did I not say to you, Do not go?

18 And when they came7725 again7725 to him, (for he tarried3427 at Jericho,3405) he said559 to them, Did I not say559 to you, Go3212 not?

19 And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, the situation of the city is pleasant, as our lord sees; but the water is bad and the ground is barren.

19 And the men582 of the city5892 said559 to Elisha,477 Behold,2009 I pray4994 you, the situation4186 of this2088 city5892 is pleasant,2896 as my lord113 sees:7200 but the water4325 is naught,7451 and the ground776 barren.7921

20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse and put salt in it. And they brought it to him.

20 And he said,559 Bring3947 me a new2319 cruse,6746 and put7760 salt4417 therein.8033 And they brought3947 it to him.

21 And he went forth to the spring of water and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus says the LORD: I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.

21 And he went3318 forth3318 to the spring4161 of the waters,4325 and cast7993 the salt4417 in there,8033 and said,559 Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 I have healed7495 these428 waters;4325 there8033 shall not be from there any more5750 death4194 or barren7921 land.

22 So the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.

22 So the waters4325 were healed7495 to this2088 day,3117 according to the saying1697 of Elisha477 which834 he spoke.1696

23 And he went up from thence to Beth-el; and as he was going up along the way, there came forth little boys out of the city and mocked him, saying, Go up, you bald head, go up, you bald head.

23 And he went5927 up from there8033 to Bethel:1008 and as he was going5927 up by the way,1870 there came3318 forth3318 little6996 children5288 out of the city,5892 and mocked7046 him, and said559 to him, Go5927 up, you bald7142 head; go5927 up, you bald7142 head.

24 And he turned back and saw them and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she-bears out of the forest, and tore forty-two of the boys.

24 And he turned6437 back,310 and looked7200 on them, and cursed7043 them in the name8034 of the LORD.3068 And there came3318 forth3318 two8147 she bears1677 out of the wood,3293 and tare1234 forty705 and two8147 children3206 of them.

25 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.

25 And he went3212 from there8033 to mount2022 Carmel,3760 and from there8033 he returned7725 to Samaria.8111
