2 Kings 2:1-3

International Standard Version

Elijah is Taken to Heaven

2 As the time drew near when the Lord was about to take Elijah to heaven in a wind storm, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. ² Elijah instructed Elisha, “Remain here on this side, please, because the Lord is sending me as far as Bethel.”

But Elisha replied, “As the Lord lives, I’m not going to leave you while you’re still alive!” So they both went on to Bethel.

³ When the Guild of Prophets^[a] who lived in Bethel came out to greet Elisha, they asked him, “You are aware, aren’t you, that later today the Lord is going to remove your master from being your mentor?”^[b]

“Of course I’m aware of it,” he said. “Calm down.”
