Ahaziah’s Messengers Meet Elijah
Jehoram Reigns over Israel
Elijah Taken to Heaven
[9] Now it happened when they crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you." And Elisha said, "Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." [10] And he said, "You have asked a hard thing. [Nevertheless], if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be [so]."
[2Ki 2:9-10 LSB]
[11] As they were going along and talking, behold, [there appeared] a chariot of fire and horses of fire, and it separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven.
[12] And Elisha was seeing [this] and he was crying out, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!" And he saw Elijah no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces.
[2Ki 2:11-12 LSB]
