2 Kings 2:1-11

2:1

And it came to pass, when the LORD
<03068>

would take up
<05927> (8687)

Elijah
<0452>

into heaven
<08064>

by a whirlwind
<05591>_,

that Elijah
<0452>

went
<03212> (8799)

with Elisha
<0477>

from Gilgal
<01537>_.

2:2

And Elijah
<0452>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Elisha
<0477>_,

Tarry
<03427> (8798)

here, I pray thee; for the LORD
<03068>

hath sent
<07971> (8804)

me to Bethel
<01008>_.

And Elisha
<0477>

said
<0559> (8799)

[unto him, As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

and [as] thy soul
<05315>

liveth
<02416>_,

I will not leave
<05800> (8799)

thee. So they went down
<03381> (8799)

to Bethel
<01008>_.

2:3

And the sons
<01121>

of the prophets
<05030>

that [were] at Bethel
<01008>

came forth
<03318> (8799)

to Elisha
<0477>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Knowest
<03045> (8804)

thou that the LORD
<03068>

will take away
<03947> (8802)

thy master
<0113>

from thy head
<07218>

to day
<03117>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Yea, I know
<03045> (8804)

[it]; hold ye your peace
<02814> (8685)_.

2:4

And Elijah
<0452>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Elisha
<0477>_,

tarry
<03427> (8798)

here, I pray thee; for the LORD
<03068>

hath sent
<07971> (8804)

me to Jericho
<03405>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

[As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

and [as] thy soul
<05315>

liveth
<02416>_,

I will not leave
<05800> (8799)

thee. So they came
<0935> (8799)

to Jericho
<03405>_.

2:5

And the sons
<01121>

of the prophets
<05030>

that [were] at Jericho
<03405>

came
<05066> (8799)

to Elisha
<0477>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Knowest
<03045> (8804)

thou that the LORD
<03068>

will take away
<03947> (8802)

thy master
<0113>

from thy head
<07218>

to day
<03117>_?

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Yea, I know
<03045> (8804)

[it]; hold ye your peace
<02814> (8685)_.

2:6

And Elijah
<0452>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Tarry
<03427> (8798)_,

I pray thee, here; for the LORD
<03068>

hath sent
<07971> (8804)

me to Jordan
<03383>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

[As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

and [as] thy soul
<05315>

liveth
<02416>_,

I will not leave
<05800> (8799)

thee. And they two
<08147>

went on
<03212> (8799)_.

2:7

And fifty
<02572>

men
<0376>

of the sons
<01121>

of the prophets
<05030>

went
<01980> (8804)_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

to view
<05048>

afar off
<07350>_:

and they two
<08147>

stood
<05975> (8804)

by Jordan
<03383>_.

{to view: Heb. in sight, or, over against}

2:8

And Elijah
<0452>

took
<03947> (8799)

his mantle
<0155>_,

and wrapped [it] together
<01563> (8799)_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

the waters
<04325>_,

and they were divided
<02673> (8735)

hither and thither, so that they two
<08147>

went over
<05674> (8799)

on dry
<02724>

ground.

2:9

And it came to pass, when they were gone over
<05674> (8800)_,

that Elijah
<0452>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto Elisha
<0477>_,

Ask
<07592> (8798)

what I shall do
<06213> (8799)

for thee, before I be taken away
<03947> (8735)

from thee. And Elisha
<0477>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I pray thee, let a double
<08147>

portion
<06310>

of thy spirit
<07307>

be upon me.

2:10

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou hast asked
<07592> (8800)

a hard thing
<07185> (8689)_:

[nevertheless], if thou see
<07200> (8799)

me [when I am] taken
<03947> (8795)

from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be [so]. {Thou hast...: Heb. Thou hast done hard in asking}

2:11

And it came to pass, as they still
<01980> (8800)

went on
<01980> (8802)_,

and talked
<01696> (8763)_,

that, behold, [there appeared] a chariot
<07393>

of fire
<0784>_,

and horses
<05483>

of fire
<0784>_,

and parted
<06504> (8686)

them both
<08147>

asunder
<0996>_;

and Elijah
<0452>

went up
<05927> (8799)

by a whirlwind
<05591>

into heaven
<08064>_.
