As they were walking along and talking, suddenly a fiery chariot 1  pulled by fiery horses appeared. 2  They went between Elijah and Elisha, 3  and Elijah went up to heaven in a windstorm.

NET Notes

1 tn Though the noun is singular here, it may be collective, in which case it could be translated “chariots.”

2 tn Heb “look, a chariot of fire and horses of fire.”

3 tn Heb “and they made a division between the two of them.”
