RF KI2 2:1 (B.C. 896.) The Death of Eliah.
When the EVER-LIVING was about to take up Eliah in a tempest to the Heavens, Eliah and Alisha were travelling in Gilgal,—
RF KI2 2:2 and Eliah said to Alisha, "Go back, now, from here, for the EVER-LIVING will send me to Bethel."
But Alisha replied, "By the life of the EVER-LIVING, and by your life, I will not leave you!" So they descended to Bethel.
RF KI2 2:3 When at Bethel, some Preachers came to Alisha, and asked him, "Do you know that the EVER-LIVING will take your master from your head?"
And he replied, "I know it! Be silent."
RF KI2 2:4 Eliah again said to Alisha, "Turn back, I pray, here,—for the EVER-LIVING has sent me to Jeriko."
But he replied, "By the life of the EVER-LIVING, and by the life of your soul, I will not leave you!" So they went on to Jeriko,
RF KI2 2:5 where the Preachers who were in Jeriko approached to Alisha, and asked him, "Do you know that to-day the EVER-LIVING will take your master from your head?"
And he answered, "I also know it. Be silent!"
RF KI2 2:6 Then Eliah said to him, "Return, I beg, here, for the EVER-LIVING has sent me to the Jordan."
But he replied, "By the life of the EVER-LIVING and the life of your soul, I will not leave you!" So both of them went on;
RF KI2 2:7 and fifty men from the Preachers went and stationed themselves at a distance to the south, but they two stood by the Jordan,
RF KI2 2:8 and Eliah took his mantle, and folded it, and struck the waters, when they divided on this side and that, and both passed over on dry land.
RF KI2 2:9 When they had passed over Eliah said to Alisha, "Ask what I shall do for you before GOD takes me from you?"
And Alisha answered, "Let twice your spirit come upon me."
RF KI2 2:10 When he replied, "You have asked a hard thing. If you see me taken from you, then it will come to you; but if not, it will not come."
RF KI2 2:11 (B.C. 896.) Elisha Receives Eliah's mantle.
While they were walking and conversing, a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire and stopped between them, and Eliah ascended in a tempest to the Heavens,
RF KI2 2:12 but Alisha looked on and shouted, "My father! My father! The chariot of Israel and its horses!" But he never saw him again. He seized his robe, however, and it tore into two,
RF KI2 2:13 and the mantle that Eliah wore fell upon him. Then he returned and stood on the bank of the Jordan,
RF KI2 2:14 and took the mantle of Eliah, which had fallen from off him, and struck the waters, and said, "Come, EVER-LIVING, the GOD of Eliah, as if to himself." Then he struck the waters, and they divided, on this side and that, and Alisha crossed over.
RF KI2 2:15 And the pupils of the Preachers who were in Jeriko, to the south, saw it, and remarked, "The spirit of Eliah has fallen upon Alisha," so they went to meet him, and bowed to him to the earth,
RF KI2 2:16 and said, "You see now your servants are fifty strong men. Let us go and seek Eliah, for fear the spirit of the EVER-LIVING should carry him away, and drive him to some of the hills, or to some of the vales." But he replied, "Do not go."
RF KI2 2:17 They, however, pressed him until he was ashamed, when he answered "Go." So the fifty men went, and searched for three days, but could not find him.
RF KI2 2:18 The Young preachers seek out Eliah.
They consequently returned to him, for he was staying in Jeriko, and he said to them, "Did I not tell you not to go?"
RF KI2 2:19 (B.C. 896.) Anecdotes of Elisha.
The men of the town once said to Alisha, "The position of the town is good, as your lordship perceives, but the water is bad, and the ground barren."
RF KI2 2:20 He consequently replied, "Fetch me a new bowl, and put salt in it, and bring it me."
RF KI2 2:21 Then he went to the water-springs and threw the salt into them, and said, "Thus says the EVER-LIVING! I have cured these waters, death and barrenness shall no more come from them."
RF KI2 2:22 And the waters have been healthy to this day, according to the message Alisha delivered.
RF KI2 2:23 Once he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was on the road some young lads met him near the town, and ridiculed him, exclaiming, "Go up bald head! Go up bald head!"
RF KI2 2:24 when he turned and cursed them in the Name of the EVER-LIVING, and two bears from the forest met them and tore forty-two of the lads.—
RF KI2 2:25 From there he went to Mount Karmel, and afterwards he settled in Shomeron.
