12:001:017 So he died according to the word of the lord which Elijah had
           spoken.  And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of
           Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had
           no son.

12:001:018 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not
           written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

12:002:001 And it came to pass, when the lord would take up Elijah into
           heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from
           Gilgal.

12:002:002 And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the
           lord hath sent me to Bethel.  And Elisha said unto him, As the
           lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee.  So
           they went down to Bethel.

12:002:003 And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to
           Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the lord will
           take away thy master from thy head to day?  And he said, Yea, I
           know it; hold ye your peace.

12:002:004 And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for
           the lord hath sent me to Jericho.  And he said, As the lord
           liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee.  So they
           came to Jericho.

12:002:005 And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to
           Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the lord will
           take away thy master from thy head to day?  And he answered,
           Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.

12:002:006 And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the
           lord hath sent me to Jordan.  And he said, As the lord liveth,
           and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee.  And they two
           went on.

12:002:007 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to
           view afar off:  and they two stood by Jordan.

12:002:008 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote
           the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that
           they two went over on dry ground.

12:002:009 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah
           said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be
           taken away from thee.  And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a
           double portion of thy spirit be upon me.

12:002:010 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing:  nevertheless, if
           thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto
           thee; but if not, it shall not be so.

12:002:011 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that,
           behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire,
           and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a
           whirlwind into heaven.
