2 Raja-raja 2:14

2:14 He took the cloak that had fallen off Elijah, ¹  hit the water with it, and said, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” When he hit the water, it divided and Elisha crossed over.

2 Raja-raja 5:12

5:12 The rivers of Damascus, the Abana and Pharpar, are better than any of the waters of Israel! ²  Could I not wash in them and be healed?” So he turned around and went away angry.

¹ tn Heb “Elijah’s cloak, which had fallen off him.” The wording is changed slightly in the translation for the sake of variety of expression (see v. 13).

² tn Heb “Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all of the waters of Israel?” The rhetorical question expects an emphatic “yes” as an answer.
