11 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 Eli´jah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 And Eli´sha 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.
13 He took up also the mantle of Eli´jah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;
14 and he took the mantle of Eli´jah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Eli´jah? And when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Eli´sha went over.
15 And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Eli´jah doth rest on Eli´sha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
16 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.
17 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.
