12:002:012 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the
           chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.  And he saw him no
           more:  and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in
           two pieces.

12:002:013 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and
           went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;

12:002:014 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote
           the waters, and said, Where is the lord God of Elijah? and
           when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and
           thither:  and Elisha went over.

12:002:015 And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at
           Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on
           Elisha.  And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the
           ground before him.

12:002:016 And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants
           fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy
           master:  lest peradventure the Spirit of the lord hath taken
           him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. 
           And he said, Ye shall not send.

12:002:017 And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. 
           They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but
           found him not.

12:002:018 And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,)
           he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?

12:002:019 And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee,
           the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth:  but
           the water is naught, and the ground barren.

12:002:020 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein.  And
           they brought it to him.

12:002:021 And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the
           salt in there, and said, Thus saith the lord, I have healed
           these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or
           barren land.

12:002:022 So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the
           saying of Elisha which he spake.

12:002:023 And he went up from thence unto Bethel:  and as he was going up
           by the way, there came forth little children out of the city,
           and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go
           up, thou bald head.

12:002:024 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the
           name of the lord.  And there came forth two she bears out of
           the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

12:002:025 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he
           returned to Samaria.
