2 Kings 2:3-7

New American Standard Bible 1995

³ Then ^(A)the sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that the Lord will take away your master from over ^[a]you today?” And he said, “Yes, I know; be still.”

⁴ Elijah said to him, “Elisha, please ^(B)stay here, for the Lord has sent me to ^(C)Jericho.” But he said, “^(D)As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they came to Jericho. ^5 (E)The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho approached Elisha and said to him, “^(F)Do you know that the Lord will take away your master from over ^[b]you today?” And he ^[c]answered, “Yes, I know; be still.” ⁶ Then Elijah said to him, “Please ^(G)stay here, for the Lord has sent me to ^(H)the Jordan.” And he said, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on.

⁷ Now ^(I)fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan.
