2 Kings 2

Elijah and Elisha travel from Gilgal to Bethel, Jericho, and the Jordan while the sons of the prophets know Elijah is about to be taken. Elijah parts the Jordan with his mantle. Elisha asks for a double portion of Elijah’s spirit. A chariot and horses of fire separate them, and Elijah goes up by a whirlwind. Elisha receives the mantle, parts the Jordan, heals Jericho’s water, and is recognized as successor. At Bethel, mocking youths jeer at him; after he curses them in the LORD’s name, two she bears maul forty-two.
