2 Kings 2:1-3 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. When Yahweh was about to take Elijah up in the storm to heaven, Elijah and Elisha went from Gilgal.

2. Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for Yahweh has sent me up to Bethel.” Elisha said, “As Yahweh lives and as your soul lives, I will certainly not leave you!” So they went down to Bethel.

3. Then the sons of the prophets who were in Bethel came out to Elisha, and they said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh is going to take your master from you today?” He said, “I also know; be quiet!”
