WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:04.960 Chapter 2 And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elijah into 00:04.960 --> 00:08.800 heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. 00:09.540 --> 00:15.080 And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee, for the Lord hath sent me to 00:15.080 --> 00:15.420 Bethel. 00:15.720 --> 00:19.960 And Elisha said unto him, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, 00:20.280 --> 00:21.440 I will not leave thee. 00:21.740 --> 00:23.080 So they went down to Bethel. 00:23.440 --> 00:27.660 And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha and said unto 00:27.660 --> 00:32.960 him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head today? 00:33.280 --> 00:35.320 And he said, Yea, I know it. 00:35.860 --> 00:36.960 Hold ye your peace. 00:37.280 --> 00:42.500 And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee, for the Lord hath 00:42.500 --> 00:43.540 sent me to Jericho. 00:44.000 --> 00:48.640 And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave 00:48.640 --> 00:48.800 thee. 00:49.260 --> 00:50.660 So they came to Jericho. 00:51.280 --> 00:55.760 And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha and said unto him, 00:55.760 --> 00:59.140 Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head today? 00:59.420 --> 01:01.740 And he answered, Yea, I know it. 01:02.260 --> 01:03.320 Hold ye your peace. 01:03.480 --> 01:07.700 And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here, for the Lord hath sent 01:07.700 --> 01:08.440 me to Jordan. 01:08.620 --> 01:13.600 And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave 01:13.600 --> 01:13.800 thee. 01:14.220 --> 01:15.340 And they too went on. 01:16.240 --> 01:20.900 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off. 01:21.660 --> 01:23.440 And they too stood by Jordan. 01:24.260 --> 01:28.840 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters. 01:29.400 --> 01:34.560 And they were divided hither and thither, so that they too went over on dry ground. 01:35.300 --> 01:40.220 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, 01:40.580 --> 01:44.500 Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. 01:44.880 --> 01:49.860 And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me. 01:50.020 --> 01:52.760 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing. 01:53.460 --> 01:58.800 Nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee. 01:59.000 --> 02:01.240 But if not, it shall not be so. 02:01.680 --> 02:07.140 And it came to pass, as they still went on and talked, that, behold, there appeared a 02:07.140 --> 02:11.640 chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder. 02:12.360 --> 02:15.300 And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 02:16.000 --> 02:20.780 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of 02:20.780 --> 02:22.600 Israel, and the horsemen thereof. 02:22.880 --> 02:23.880 And he saw him no more. 02:24.480 --> 02:27.640 And he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. 02:28.220 --> 02:32.780 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by 02:32.780 --> 02:33.680 the bank of Jordan. 02:34.140 --> 02:37.680 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, 02:37.800 --> 02:40.240 and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? 02:40.620 --> 02:44.620 And when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither. 02:44.620 --> 02:46.300 And Elisha went over. 02:46.740 --> 02:49.300 And when the sons of the prophets, which were to view at Jericho, 02:49.440 --> 02:53.080 saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. 02:53.380 --> 02:57.120 And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him. 02:57.460 --> 03:01.400 And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong 03:01.400 --> 03:01.700 men. 03:02.460 --> 03:07.000 Let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master, lest peradventure the spirit of 03:07.000 --> 03:11.120 the Lord have taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. 03:11.440 --> 03:13.340 And he said, Ye shall not send. 03:13.340 --> 03:16.720 And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. 03:17.060 --> 03:20.720 They sent therefore fifty men, and they sought three days, but found him 03:20.720 --> 03:21.020 not. 03:21.520 --> 03:25.340 And when they came again to him, for he tarried at Jericho, he said unto 03:25.340 --> 03:27.980 them, Did I not say unto you, Go not? 03:28.160 --> 03:33.180 And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this 03:33.180 --> 03:38.260 city is pleasant, as my Lord seeth, but the water is not, and the ground 03:38.260 --> 03:38.800 barren. 03:38.960 --> 03:42.420 And he said, Bring me a new cruise, and put salt therein. 03:42.420 --> 03:43.660 And they brought it to him. 03:44.180 --> 03:47.580 And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, 03:47.720 --> 03:52.440 and said, Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters, there shall 03:52.440 --> 03:55.760 not be from thence any more death or barren land. 03:55.920 --> 04:00.360 So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he 04:00.360 --> 04:00.760 spake. 04:01.300 --> 04:03.560 And he went up from thence unto Bethel. 04:03.700 --> 04:07.340 And as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of 04:07.340 --> 04:12.340 the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head, go up, 04:12.420 --> 04:13.220 thou bald head. 04:13.440 --> 04:17.220 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. 04:18.080 --> 04:22.480 And there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tear forty and two children 04:22.480 --> 04:22.940 over them. 04:23.480 --> 04:27.700 And he went from thence to Mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
