And Elisha H477 said H559 unto him, As the LORD H3068 liveth H2416 , and as thy soul H5315 liveth H2416 , I will not H518 leave H5800 thee . So they went down H3381 to Bethel H1008 .
|
|
3. And the sons of the prophets in Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, Do you know that today Jehovah will take your lord from your head? And he said, Yes, I know. Keep silent.

And he said H559 , As the LORD H3068 liveth H2416 , and as thy soul H5315 liveth H2416 , I will not H518 leave H5800 thee . So they came H935 to Jericho H3405 .
|
|
5. And the sons of the prophets in Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, Do you know that today Jehovah will take away your lord from your head? And he said, Yes, I know. Keep silent.
|
5. And the sons H1121 of the prophets H5030 that H834 were at Jericho H3405 came H5066 to H413 Elisha H477 , and said H559 unto H413 him, Knowest H3045 thou that H3588 the LORD H3068 will take away H3947 H853 thy master H113 from H4480 H5921 thy head H7218 today H3117 ? And he answered H559 , Yea H1571 , I H589 know H3045 it ; hold ye your peace H2814 .
|
|
6. And Elijah said to him, Please stay here, for Jehovah has sent me to the Jordan. And he said, As Jehovah lives, and your soul lives, I will not leave you. And they went on, both of them.
|
6. And Elijah H452 said H559 unto him, Tarry H3427 , I pray thee H4994 , here H6311 ; for H3588 the LORD H3068 hath sent H7971 me to Jordan H3383 . And he said H559 , As the LORD H3068 liveth H2416 , and as thy soul H5315 liveth H2416 , I will not H518 leave H5800 thee . And they two H8147 went on H1980 .
|
|
7. And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went on and stood afar off, across from them. And they both stood by the Jordan.
|
7. And fifty H2572 men H376 of the sons H4480 H1121 of the prophets H5030 went H1980 , and stood H5975 to view H4480 H5048 afar off H4480 H7350 : and they two H8147 stood H5975 by H5921 Jordan H3383 .
|
|
8. And 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.
|
8. And Elijah H452 took H3947 H853 his mantle H155 , and wrapped it together H1563 , and smote H5221 H853 the waters H4325 , and they were divided H2673 hither H2008 and thither H2008 , so that they two H8147 went over H5674 on dry ground H2724 .
|
|
9. And it happened, when they were crossing, Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you. And Elisha said, Then let there now be a double portion of your spirit on me.
|
9. And it came to pass H1961 , when they were gone over H5674 , that Elijah H452 said H559 unto H413 Elisha H477 , Ask H7592 what H4100 I shall do H6213 for thee, before H2962 I be taken away H3947 from H4480 H5973 thee . And Elisha H477 said H559 , I pray thee H4994 , let a double H8147 portion H6310 of thy spirit H7307 be H1961 upon H413 me.
|
|
10. And he said, You have asked a hard thing. If you shall see me taken from you, it shall be so to you. And if not, it shall not be.
|
10. And he said H559 , Thou hast asked H7592 a hard thing H7185 : nevertheless , if H518 thou see H7200 me when I am taken H3947 from H4480 H854 thee , it shall be H1961 so H3651 unto thee ; but if H518 not H369 , it shall not H3808 be H1961 so .
|
|
11. And it happened, as they were going on and speaking, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire came. And they separated between them both, and Elijah went up in a tempest to Heaven.
|
11. And it came to pass H1961 , as they H1992 still went on H1980 , and talked H1696 , that, behold H2009 , there appeared a chariot H7393 of fire H784 , and horses H5483 of fire H784 , and parted H6504 them both H8147 asunder H996 ; and Elijah H452 went up H5927 by a whirlwind H5591 into heaven H8064 .
|
|
12. And Elisha was watching, and he was crying, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen! And he did not see him again. And he took hold on his garments and tore them into two pieces.
|
12. And Elisha H477 saw H7200 it , and he H1931 cried H6817 , My father H1 , my father H1 , the chariot H7393 of Israel H3478 , and the horsemen H6571 thereof . And he saw H7200 him no H3808 more H5750 : and he took hold H2388 of his own clothes H899 , and rent H7167 them in two H8147 pieces H7168 .
|
|
13. And he lifted up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and turned back and stood on the lip of the Jordan.
|
13. He took up H7311 also H853 the mantle H155 of Elijah H452 that H834 fell H5307 from H4480 H5921 him , and went back H7725 , and stood H5975 by H5921 the bank H8193 of Jordan H3383 ;
|
|
14. And he took Elijah's mantle that had fallen from him, and struck the waters, and said, Where is Jehovah the God of Elijah, even He? And he struck the waters; and they were split in two here and there, and Elisha crossed over.
|
14. And he took H3947 H853 the mantle H155 of Elijah H452 that H834 fell H5307 from H4480 H5921 him , and smote H5221 H853 the waters H4325 , and said H559 , Where H346 is the LORD H3068 God H430 of Elijah H452 ? and when he H1931 also H637 had smitten H5221 H853 the waters H4325 , they parted H2673 hither H2008 and thither H2008 : and Elisha H477 went over H5674 .
|
|
15. And when they saw him, the sons of the prophets across in Jericho, then they said, The spirit of Elijah has rested on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed to the earth to him.
|
15. And when the sons H1121 of the prophets H5030 which H834 were to view H4480 H5048 at Jericho H3405 saw H7200 him , they said H559 , The spirit H7307 of Elijah H452 doth rest H5117 on H5921 Elisha H477 . And they came H935 to meet H7125 him , and bowed themselves H7812 to the ground H776 before him.
|
|
16. And they said to him, Behold, now, there are with your servants fifty men, mighty sons. Please let them go, and they shall seek your lord, lest the Spirit of Jehovah has taken him up and has cast him on one of the mountains, or into one of the valleys. And he said, You shall not send.
|
16. And they said H559 unto H413 him, Behold H2009 now H4994 , there be H3426 with H854 thy servants H5650 fifty H2572 strong H1121 H2428 men H376 ; let them go H1980 , we pray thee H4994 , and seek H1245 H853 thy master H113 : lest peradventure H6435 the Spirit H7307 of the LORD H3068 hath taken him up H5375 , and cast H7993 him upon some H259 mountain H2022 , or H176 into some H259 valley H1516 . And he said H559 , Ye shall not H3808 send H7971 .
|
|
17. And they pressed on him until he was ashamed. And he said, Send. And they sent fifty men, and they sought three days and did not find him.
|
17. And when they urged H6484 him till H5704 he was ashamed H954 , he said H559 , Send H7971 . They sent H7971 therefore fifty H2572 men H376 ; and they sought H1245 three H7969 days H3117 , but found H4672 him not H3808 .
|
|
18. And they returned to him, and he was staying in Jericho. And he said to them, Did I not say to you, Do not go?
|
18. And when they came again H7725 to H413 him, (for he H1931 tarried H3427 at Jericho H3405 ,) he said H559 unto H413 them , Did I not H3808 say H559 unto H413 you, Go H1980 not H408 ?
|
|
19. And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, now, the site of the city is good, as my lord sees, but the waters are bad; and the ground causes barrenness.
|
19. And the men H376 of the city H5892 said H559 unto H413 Elisha H477 , Behold H2009 , I pray thee H4994 , the situation H4186 of this city H5892 is pleasant H2896 , as H834 my lord H113 seeth H7200 : but the water H4325 is naught H7451 , and the ground H776 barren H7921 .
|
|
20. And he said, Bring a new dish to me, and put salt there. And they took it to him.
|
20. And he said H559 , Bring H3947 me a new H2319 cruse H6746 , and put H7760 salt H4417 therein H8033 . And they brought H3947 it to H413 him.
|
|
21. And he went out to the source of the waters and threw salt there, and said, So says Jehovah, I have given healing to these waters; there shall not be death and sterility there any more.
|
21. And he went forth H3318 unto H413 the spring H4161 of the waters H4325 , and cast H7993 the salt H4417 in there H8033 , and said H559 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , I have healed H7495 these H428 waters H4325 ; there shall not H3808 be H1961 from thence H4480 H8033 any more H5750 death H4194 or barren H7921 land .
|
|
22. And the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha that he spoke.
|
22. So the waters H4325 were healed H7495 unto H5704 this H2088 day H3117 , according to the saying H1697 of Elisha H477 which H834 he spoke H1696 .
|
|
23. And he went up from there to Bethel. And he was going up in the highway. And little boys came out from the city and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, bald head! Go up, bald head!
|
23. And he went up H5927 from thence H4480 H8033 unto Bethel H1008 : and as he H1931 was going up H5927 by the way H1870 , there came forth H3318 little H6996 children H5288 out of H4480 the city H5892 , and mocked H7046 him , and said H559 unto him , Go up H5927 , thou bald head H7142 ; go up H5927 , thou bald head H7142 .
|
|
24. And he turned behind him and saw them, and declared them vile in the name of Jehovah. And two bears came out of the forest and tore forty two boys of them.
|
24. And he turned H6437 back H310 , and looked H7200 on them , and cursed H7043 them in the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 . And there came forth H3318 two H8147 she bears H1677 out of H4480 the wood H3293 , and tore H1234 forty H705 and two H8147 children H3206 of H4480 them.
|
|
25. And he went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
|
25. And he went H1980 from thence H4480 H8033 to H413 mount H2022 Carmel H3760 , and from thence H4480 H8033 he returned H7725 to Samaria H8111 .
