\chapterNumber{1}Then Moab|strong="H4124" rebelled|strong="H6586" against Israel|strong="H3478" after|strong="H0310" the death|strong="H4194" of Ahab|strong="H0256". 
\verseNumber{2}And Ahaziah|strong="H0274" fell down|strong="H5307" through a lattice|strong="H7639" in his upper chamber|strong="H5944" that \BibleCharacterStyleADD{was} in Samaria|strong="H8111", and was sick|strong="H2470": and he sent|strong="H7971" messengers|strong="H4397", and said|strong="H0559" unto them, Go|strong="H3212", enquire|strong="H1875" of Baal-zebub|strong="H1176" the god|strong="H0430" of Ekron|strong="H6138" whether I shall recover|strong="H2421" of this disease|strong="H2483". 
\verseNumber{3}But the angel|strong="H4397" of the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} said|strong="H1696" to Elijah|strong="H0452" the Tishbite|strong="H8664", Arise|strong="H6965", go up|strong="H5927" to meet|strong="H7125" the messengers|strong="H4397" of the king|strong="H4428" of Samaria|strong="H8111", and say|strong="H1696" unto them, \BibleCharacterStyleADD{Is it} not because \BibleCharacterStyleADD{there is} not a God|strong="H0430" in Israel|strong="H3478", \BibleCharacterStyleADD{that} ye go|strong="H1980" to enquire|strong="H1875" of Baal-zebub|strong="H1176" the god|strong="H0430" of Ekron|strong="H6138"? 
\verseNumber{4}Now therefore thus saith|strong="H0559" the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*}, Thou shalt not come down|strong="H3381" from that bed|strong="H4296" on which thou art gone up|strong="H5927", but shalt surely|strong="H4191" die|strong="H4191".

\verseNumber{5}¶ And when the messengers|strong="H4397" turned back|strong="H7725" unto him, he said|strong="H0559" unto them, Why are ye now|strong="H2088" turned back|strong="H7725"? 
\verseNumber{6}And they said|strong="H0559" unto him, There came|strong="H5927" a man|strong="H0376" up|strong="H5927" to meet|strong="H7125" us, and said|strong="H0559" unto us, Go|strong="H3212", turn again|strong="H7725" unto the king|strong="H4428" that sent|strong="H7971" you, and say|strong="H1696" unto him, Thus saith|strong="H0559" the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*}, \BibleCharacterStyleADD{Is it} not because \BibleCharacterStyleADD{there is} not a God|strong="H0430" in Israel|strong="H3478", \BibleCharacterStyleADD{that} thou sendest|strong="H7971" to enquire|strong="H1875" of Baal-zebub|strong="H1176" the god|strong="H0430" of Ekron|strong="H6138"? therefore thou shalt not come down|strong="H3381" from that bed|strong="H4296" on which thou art gone up|strong="H5927", but shalt surely|strong="H4191" die|strong="H4191". 
\verseNumber{7}And he said|strong="H1696" unto them, What manner|strong="H4941" of man|strong="H0376" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{was he} which came up|strong="H5927" to meet|strong="H7125" you, and told|strong="H1696" you these words|strong="H1697"?\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{1.7  }What…: Heb.

\verseNumber{9}Then the king|strong="H4428" sent|strong="H7971" unto him a captain|strong="H8269" of fifty|strong="H2572" with his fifty|strong="H2572". And he went up|strong="H5927" to him: and, behold, he sat|strong="H3427" on the top|strong="H7218" of an hill|strong="H2022". And he spake|strong="H1696" unto him, Thou man|strong="H0376" of God|strong="H0430", the king|strong="H4428" hath said|strong="H1696", Come down|strong="H3381". 
\verseNumber{10}And Elijah|strong="H0452" answered|strong="H6030" and said|strong="H1696" to the captain|strong="H8269" of fifty|strong="H2572", If I \BibleCharacterStyleADD{be} a man|strong="H0376" of God|strong="H0430", then let fire|strong="H0784" come down|strong="H3381" from heaven|strong="H8064", and consume|strong="H0398" thee and thy fifty|strong="H2572". And there came down|strong="H3381" fire|strong="H0784" from heaven|strong="H8064", and consumed|strong="H0398" him and his fifty|strong="H2572". 
\verseNumber{11}Again|strong="H7725" also he sent|strong="H7971" unto him another|strong="H0312" captain|strong="H8269" of fifty|strong="H2572" with his fifty|strong="H2572".

\verseNumber{13}¶ And he sent|strong="H7971" again|strong="H7725" a captain|strong="H8269" of the third|strong="H7992" fifty|strong="H2572" with his fifty|strong="H2572". And the third|strong="H7992" captain|strong="H8269" of fifty|strong="H2572" went up|strong="H5927", and came|strong="H0935" and fell|strong="H3766" on his knees|strong="H1290" before|strong="H5048" Elijah|strong="H0452", and besought|strong="H2603" him, and said|strong="H1696" unto him, O man|strong="H0376" of God|strong="H0430", I pray thee, let my life|strong="H5315", and the life|strong="H5315" of these fifty|strong="H2572" thy servants|strong="H5650", be precious|strong="H3365" in thy sight|strong="H5869".\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{1.13  }fell: Heb. bowed}

\verseNumber{15}And the angel|strong="H4397" of the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} said|strong="H1696" unto Elijah|strong="H0452", Go down|strong="H3381" with him: be not afraid|strong="H3372" of him|strong="H6440". And he arose|strong="H6965", and went down|strong="H3381" with him unto the king|strong="H4428". 
\verseNumber{16}And he said|strong="H1696" unto him, Thus saith|strong="H0559" the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*}, Forasmuch as thou hast sent|strong="H7971" messengers|strong="H4397" to enquire|strong="H1875" of Baal-zebub|strong="H1176" the god|strong="H0430" of Ekron|strong="H6138", \BibleCharacterStyleADD{is it} not because \BibleCharacterStyleADD{there is} no God|strong="H0430" in Israel|strong="H3478" to enquire|strong="H1875" of his word|strong="H1697"? therefore thou shalt not come down|strong="H3381" off that bed|strong="H4296" on which thou art gone up|strong="H5927", but shalt surely|strong="H4191" die|strong="H4191". 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{17}¶ So he died|strong="H4191" according to the word|strong="H1697" of the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} which Elijah|strong="H0452" had spoken|strong="H1696".

\verseNumber{18}Now the rest|strong="H3499" of the acts|strong="H1697" of Ahaziah|strong="H0274" which he did|strong="H6213", \BibleCharacterStyleADD{are} they not written|strong="H3789" in the book|strong="H5612" of the chronicles|strong="H1697" of the kings|strong="H4428" of Israel|strong="H3478"?

\chapterNumber{2}And it came to pass, when the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} would take up|strong="H5927" Elijah|strong="H0452" into heaven|strong="H8064" by a whirlwind|strong="H5591", that Elijah|strong="H0452" went|strong="H3212" with Elisha|strong="H0477" from Gilgal|strong="H1537". 
\verseNumber{2}And Elijah|strong="H0452" said|strong="H0559" unto Elisha|strong="H0477", Tarry|strong="H3427" here, I pray thee; for the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} hath sent|strong="H7971" me to Beth-el|strong="H1008".

So they went down|strong="H3381" to Beth-el|strong="H1008". 
\verseNumber{3}And the sons|strong="H1121" of the prophets|strong="H5030" that \BibleCharacterStyleADD{were} at Beth-el|strong="H1008" came forth|strong="H3318" to Elisha|strong="H0477", and said|strong="H0559" unto him, Knowest|strong="H3045" thou that the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} will take away|strong="H3947" thy master|strong="H0113" from thy head|strong="H7218" to day|strong="H3117"?

\verseNumber{4}And Elijah|strong="H0452" said|strong="H0559" unto him, Elisha|strong="H0477", tarry|strong="H3427" here, I pray thee; for the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} hath sent|strong="H7971" me to Jericho|strong="H3405".

So they came|strong="H0935" to Jericho|strong="H3405". 
\verseNumber{5}And the sons|strong="H1121" of the prophets|strong="H5030" that \BibleCharacterStyleADD{were} at Jericho|strong="H3405" came|strong="H5066" to Elisha|strong="H0477", and said|strong="H0559" unto him, Knowest|strong="H3045" thou that the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} will take away|strong="H3947" thy master|strong="H0113" from thy head|strong="H7218" to day|strong="H3117"?

\verseNumber{6}And Elijah|strong="H0452" said|strong="H0559" unto him, Tarry|strong="H3427", I pray thee, here; for the \BibleCharacterStyleND{ \+w LORD|strong="H3068"\+w*} hath sent|strong="H7971" me to Jordan|strong="H3383".

And they two|strong="H8147" went on|strong="H3212". 
\verseNumber{7}And fifty|strong="H2572" men|strong="H0376" of the sons|strong="H1121" of the prophets|strong="H5030" went|strong="H1980", and stood|strong="H5975" to view|strong="H5048" afar off|strong="H7350": and they two|strong="H8147" stood|strong="H5975" by Jordan|strong="H3383".\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{2.7  }to view: Heb. in sight, or, over against} 
\verseNumber{8}And Elijah|strong="H0452" took|strong="H3947" his mantle|strong="H0155", and wrapped \BibleCharacterStyleADD{it} together|strong="H1563", and smote|strong="H5221" the waters|strong="H4325", and they were divided|strong="H2673" hither and thither, so that they two|strong="H8147" went over|strong="H5674" on dry|strong="H2724" ground.

\verseNumber{10}And he said|strong="H0559", Thou hast asked|strong="H7592" a hard thing|strong="H7185": \BibleCharacterStyleADD{nevertheless}, if thou see|strong="H7200" me \BibleCharacterStyleADD{when I am} taken|strong="H3947" from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be \BibleCharacterStyleADD{so}.\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{2.10  }Thou hast…: Heb.

\BibleParagraphStyleP
\verseNumber{13}He took up|strong="H7311" also the mantle|strong="H0155" of Elijah|strong="H0452" that fell|strong="H5307" from him, and went back|strong="H7725", and stood|strong="H5975" by the bank|strong="H8193" of Jordan|strong="H3383";\BibleFootnote{+ \BibleFootnoteAnchor{2.13  }bank: Heb. lip}
