3 The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that YHWH will take away your master from over you today?” He said, “Yes, I know it. Hold your peace.” 2 Kings 2:3WEB

6 Elijah said to him, “Please wait here, for YHWH has sent me to the Jordan.” He said, “As YHWH lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” Then they both went on. 2 Kings 2:6WEB
7 Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the Jordan. 2 Kings 2:7WEB
8 Elijah took his mantle, and rolled it up, and struck the waters; and they were divided here and there, so that they both went over on dry ground. 2 Kings 2:8WEB

10 He said, “You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it will be so for you; but if not, it will not be so.” 2 Kings 2:10WEB
11 As they continued on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 2 Kings 2:11WEB

16 They said to him, “See now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. Perhaps YHWH’s Spirit has taken him up, and put him on some mountain or into some valley.” He said, “Don’t send them.” 2 Kings 2:16WEB
17 When they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, “Send them.” Therefore they sent fifty men; and they searched for three days, but didn’t find him. 2 Kings 2:17WEB
