4. Elijah said to him, “Stay here, because the Lord has sent me to Jericho.”But Elisha said, “As the Lord lives, and as you live, I won’t leave you.”So they went to Jericho.
5. A group of the prophets at Jericho came to Elisha. They said, “Do you know that the Lord will take your master away from you today?”Elisha answered, “Yes, I know. But don’t talk about it.”
6. Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here. The Lord has sent me to the Jordan River.”Elisha answered, “As the Lord lives, and as you live, I won’t leave you.”So the two of them went on.
