2 Kings 2:9-11
Holman Christian Standard Bible
9 After they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me what I can do for you before I am taken from you.”
So Elisha answered, “Please, let me inherit two shares[a] of your spirit.”(A)
10 Elijah replied, “You have asked for something difficult. If you see me being taken from you,(B) you will have it. If not, you won’t.”
11 As they continued walking and talking, a chariot of fire with horses of fire(C) suddenly appeared and separated the two of them. Then Elijah went up into heaven in the whirlwind.(D)
