Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁴ Elijah said to him, “Elisha, stay here; the Lord is sending me to Jericho.”^(A)

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

⁵ Then the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho came up to Elisha and said, “Do you know that the Lord will take your master away from you today?”

He said, “Yes, I know. Be quiet.”

⁶ Elijah said to him, “Stay here; the Lord is sending me to the Jordan.”^(B)

But Elisha said, “As the Lord lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on.
