2 Raja-raja 2:1-2

Elijah Makes a Swift Departure

2:1 Just before ¹  the Lord took Elijah up to heaven in a windstorm, Elijah and Elisha were traveling from Gilgal. 2:2 Elijah told Elisha, “Stay here, for the Lord has sent me to Bethel.” ²  But Elisha said, “As certainly as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.
