| 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>. |
| 2:12 | And Elisha <0477> saw <07200> (8802) [it], and he cried <06817> (8764), My father <01>, my father <01>, the chariot <07393> of Israel <03478>, and the horsemen <06571> thereof. And he saw <07200> (8804) him no more: and he took hold <02388> (8686) of his own clothes <0899>, and rent <07167> (8799) them in two <08147> pieces <07168>. |
| 2:13 | He took up <07311> (8686) also the mantle <0155> of Elijah <0452> that fell <05307> (8804) from him, and went back <07725> (8799), and stood <05975> (8799) by the bank <08193> of Jordan <03383>; {bank: Heb. lip} |
| 2:14 | And he took <03947> (8799) the mantle <0155> of Elijah <0452> that fell <05307> (8804) from him, and smote <05221> (8686) the waters <04325>, and said <0559> (8799), Where [is] the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Elijah <0452>? and when he also had smitten <05221> (8686) the waters <04325>, they parted <02673> (8735) hither and thither: and Elisha <0477> went over <05674> (8799). |
| 2:15 | And when the sons <01121> of the prophets <05030> which [were] to view at Jericho <03405> saw <07200> (8799) him, they said <0559> (8799), The spirit <07307> of Elijah <0452> doth rest <05117> (8804) on Elisha <0477>. And they came <0935> (8799) to meet <07125> (8800) him, and bowed <07812> (8691) themselves to the ground <0776> before him. |
| 2:16 | And they said <0559> (8799) unto him, Behold now, there be <03426> with thy servants <05650> fifty <02572> strong <02428> men <01121> <0582>; let them go <03212> (8799), we pray thee, and seek <01245> (8762) thy master <0113>: lest peradventure the Spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068> hath taken him up <05375> (8804), and cast <07993> (8686) him upon some <0259> mountain <02022>, or into some <0259> valley <01516>. And he said <0559> (8799), Ye shall not send <07971> (8799). {strong...: Heb. sons of strength} {some mountain: Heb. one of the mountains} |
| 2:17 | And when they urged <06484> (8799) him till he was ashamed <0954> (8800), he said <0559> (8799), Send <07971> (8798). They sent <07971> (8799) therefore fifty <02572> men <0376>; and they sought <01245> (8762) three <07969> days <03117>, but found <04672> (8804) him not. |
| 2:18 | And when they came again <07725> (8799) to him, (for he tarried <03427> (8802) at Jericho <03405>,) he said <0559> (8799) unto them, Did I not say <0559> (8804) unto you, Go <03212> (8799) not? |
| 2:19 | And the men <0582> of the city <05892> said <0559> (8799) unto Elisha <0477>, Behold, I pray thee, the situation <04186> of this city <05892> [is] pleasant <02896>, as my lord <0113> seeth <07200> (8802): but the water <04325> [is] naught <07451>, and the ground <0776> barren <07921> (8764). {barren: Heb. causing to miscarry} |
| 2:20 | And he said <0559> (8799), Bring <03947> (8798) me a new <02319> cruse <06746>, and put <07760> (8798) salt <04417> therein. And they brought <03947> (8799) [it] to him. |
| 2:21 | And he went forth <03318> (8799) unto the spring <04161> of the waters <04325>, and cast <07993> (8686) the salt <04417> in there, and said <0559> (8799), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, I have healed <07495> (8765) these waters <04325>; there shall not be from thence any more death <04194> or barren <07921> (8764) [land]. |
| 2:22 | So the waters <04325> were healed <07495> (8735) unto this day <03117>, according to the saying <01697> of Elisha <0477> which he spake <01696> (8765). |
| 2:23 | And he went up <05927> (8799) from thence unto Bethel <01008>: and as he was going up <05927> (8802) by the way <01870>, there came forth <03318> (8804) little <06996> children <05288> out of the city <05892>, and mocked <07046> (8691) him, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Go up <05927> (8798), thou bald head <07142>; go up <05927> (8798), thou bald head <07142>. |
| 2:24 | And he turned <06437> (8799) back <0310>, and looked <07200> (8799) on them, and cursed <07043> (8762) them in the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>. And there came forth <03318> (8799) two <08147> she bears <01677> out of the wood <03293>, and tare <01234> (8762) forty <0705> and two <08147> children <03206> of them. |
| 2:25 | And he went <03212> (8799) from thence to mount <02022> Carmel <03760>, and from thence he returned <07725> (8804) to Samaria <08111>. |
