2 Kings 2:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ Elisha hit the water with Elijah’s ·coat [cloak; ^Tmantle] and said, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” When he hit the water, it divided to ·the right and to the left [^Lone side and the other], and Elisha crossed over [2:8].

¹⁵ The ·groups [company; brotherhood; ^Lsons] of prophets at Jericho were watching from a distance and said, “·Elisha now has the spirit Elijah had [^LElijah’s spirit now rests on Elisha].” And they came to meet him, bowing down to the ground before him. ¹⁶ They said to him, “There are fifty ·strong [able] men with us. Please let them go and look for your ·master [lord]. Maybe the Spirit of the Lord has taken Elijah up and set him down on some mountain or in some valley.”

But Elisha answered, “No, don’t send them.”
