2 Kings 2:1-3

Modern English Version

Elijah Ascends to Heaven

2 Then when the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. ² Elijah said to Elisha, “Tarry here, I ask you, for the Lord has sent me to Bethel.”

But Elisha said to him, “As the Lord lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.

³ The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that today the Lord is taking away your master from you?”

And he said, “Yes, I know. Keep silent.”
