The Second Book of Kings 2

2And it happened, when Yahweh took up Elijah in the windstorm to the heavens, and Elijah went and Elisha from Gilgal. 2And Elijah said to Elisha, “Now, stay here, because Yahweh has sent me up to Bethel.” And Elisha said, “By the life of Yahweh and by the life of your spirit, I will not leave you.” And they went down to Bethel. 3And sons of the prophets who were in Bethel went out to Elisha, and they said to him, “Do you know that today Yahweh is taking your lord from over your head?” And he said, “I myself also know. Be quiet.” 4And Elijah said to Elisha, “Now, stay here, because Yahweh has sent me to Jericho.” And he said, “By the life of Yahweh and by the life of your spirit, I will not leave you.” And they came to Jericho. 5And sons of the prophets who were in Jericho drew near to Elisha, and they said to him, “Do you know that today Yahweh is taking your lord from over your head?” And he said, “I myself also know. Be quiet.” 6And Elijah said to him, “Now, stay here, because Yahweh has sent me to the Jordan.” And he said, “By the life of Yahweh and by the life of your spirit, I will not leave you.” And they went, the two of them. 7And 50 men from the sons of the prophets went, and they stood opposite from a distance. And the two of them stood by the Jordan. 8And Elijah took his coat, and he folded it, and he struck the waters, and they were divided, here and here. And they crossed over, the two of them, on the dry ground. 9And it happened, as they crossed over, and Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I will do for you before I will be taken from with you.” And Elisha said, “And, please, may a double portion of your spirit be to me.” 10And he said, “You have made it difficult by asking. If you see me being taken from with you, it will be for you thus. But if it is not, it will not be.” 11And it happened, they were walking, walking and speaking, and look—a chariot of fire and horses of fire, and they separated between the two of them. And Elijah went up in the windstorm to the heavens. 12And Elisha was looking, and he was crying out, “My father, my father, chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” But he no longer saw him. And he grabbed his clothes, and he tore them into two pieces. 13And he raised up the coat of Elijah that had fallen from on him. And he returned, and he stood on the edge of the Jordan. 14And he took the coat of Elijah that had fallen from on him, and he struck the waters, and he said, “Where is Yahweh, the God of Elijah—even he?” And he struck the waters, and they were divided, here and here, and Elisha crossed over.

15And sons of the prophets who were in Jericho saw him from opposite, and they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” And they came to meet him, and they prostrated themselves to him, to the ground. 16And they said to him, “Look, please—there are with your servants 50 men, sons of military prowess. Please, let them go, and they will seek your lord, in case the Spirit of Yahweh lifted him, and he threw him on one of the mountains or into one of the valleys.” And he said, “Do not send.” 17But they urged him until shaming, and he said, “Send.” And they sent 50 men, and they searched three days, but they did not find him. 18And they returned to him (and he was staying in Jericho), and he said to them, “Did I not say to you, ‘Do not go’?”

19And the men of the city said to Elisha, “Please, look—the dwelling place of the city is good, just as my lord is seeing. But the waters are bad, and the land is barren.” 20And he said, “Bring to me a new bowl, and put salt there.” And they brought it to him. 21And he went out to the source of the waters, and he threw salt there. And he said, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘I have healed these waters. Death or barrenness will not be from there any longer.’” 22And the waters were healed, up to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.

23And he went up from there to Bethel, and he was going up on the road, and young men—they came out from the city, and they were mocking him. And they said to him, “Go up, bald one! Go up, bald one!” 24And he turned behind him, and he saw them, and he cursed them in the name of Yahweh. And two female bears came out from the forrest and they mauled from them 42 of the boys. 25And he went from there to Mount Carmel. And from there, he returned to Samaria.
