Elijah repeatedly asks Elisha to stay behind—first at Bethel, then at Jericho—yet Elisha insists on going with him. Prophets at each location confirm that the Lord will remove Elijah that day, while Elisha chooses to accept the news without turning it into open talk. At the Jordan, Elijah strikes the water with his cloak, the river divides, and both walk across on dry ground.","064 Elijah Taken Up to Heaven  \n2 Kings 2:1-15  \nEnglish Spiritual  \n064 Elijah Taken Up to Heaven  \nEnglish  \n© 2020 Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc.  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

They said to Elisha,“Do you know that the Lord is going to take away your master from you today?”Elisha said,“Yes, I know, but don’t talk about it.”  \nThen Elijah said to Elisha,“Stay here! The Lord is sending me to Jericho.” But Elisha said,“I will not leave you.” So together they went on to Jericho.  \nAgain at Jericho, the prophets who lived there came to Elisha and said,“Do you know that the Lord is going to take your master away from you today?” And Elisha answered,“Yes, but don’t talk about it.”  \n“Stay here!” Elijah said.“The Lord has told me to go on to the Jordan River.” But Elisha said,“I will not leave you!” So they went on, followed by fifty prophets from the group of prophets from Jericho.  \nAs the fifty prophets watched, Elijah took off his cloak and hit the river water with it. The water divided, and he and Elisha walked across to the other side on dry ground.","cbCaidqI92xRRjDO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidqI92xRRjDO","pdf",2510854,1,18,"English","en",105,"# Story of Elijah and Elisha\n## Elijah’s instructions and Elisha’s refusal\n## Prophets’ warnings at Bethel and Jericho\n## Crossing the Jordan on dry ground","[{\"question\":\"Why did Elijah tell Elisha to stay behind during their journey?\",\"answer\":\"Elijah told Elisha to stay because the Lord had directed him to go on alone to the next place.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the prophets at Bethel and Jericho say about that day?\",\"answer\":\"They told Elisha that the Lord would take away his master that day.\"},{\"question\":\"How did Elijah and Elisha cross the Jordan River?\",\"answer\":\"Elijah struck the river water with his cloak, the water divided, and they walked across on dry ground.\"}]",1784126990,45,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":86,"head_meta":88,"extra_data":90,"updated_unix":27},"elijah-taken-up-to-heaven-2-kings-21-15","",{"@graph":35,"@context":85},[36,53,68],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,47,50],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":46},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":48,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":49},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/religion-spirituality/",3,{"item":51,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":52},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/elijah-taken-up-to-heaven-2-kings-21-15/80211/",4,{"url":51,"name":13,"@type":54,"author":55,"headline":13,"publisher":57,"fileFormat":60,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":61,"datePublished":62,"encodingFormat":60,"isAccessibleForFree":63,"interactionStatistic":64},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":56},"Person",{"url":40,"name":58,"@type":59},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-16","2026-07-15",true,{"@type":65,"interactionType":66,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":67},"ViewAction",{"@type":69,"mainEntity":70},"FAQPage",[71,77,81],{"name":72,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":74},"Why did Elijah tell Elisha to stay behind during their journey?","Question",{"text":75,"@type":76},"Elijah told Elisha to stay because the Lord had directed him to go on alone to the next place.","Answer",{"name":78,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":79},"What did the prophets at Bethel and Jericho say about that day?",{"text":80,"@type":76},"They told Elisha that the Lord would take away his master that day.",{"name":82,"@type":73,"acceptedAnswer":83},"How did Elijah and Elisha cross the Jordan River?",{"text":84,"@type":76},"Elijah struck the river water with his cloak, the water divided, and they walked across on dry ground.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":51,"og:type":87,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":58,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":89,"canonical":51},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":92},[93,97,101,105,110,115,120,125,128,131,135],{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":94,"show_sort_weight":95,"slug":96},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":46,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":98,"show_sort_weight":99,"slug":100},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":52,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":102,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":104},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":106,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":107,"show_sort_weight":108,"slug":109},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":111,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":112,"show_sort_weight":113,"slug":114},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":116,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":117,"show_sort_weight":118,"slug":119},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":121,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":122,"show_sort_weight":123,"slug":124},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":136,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":137,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":138},19,"General","general"]
