And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, Thou wilt certainly recover. But Jehovah has shewn me that he shall certainly die.
Elisha just stared at him until Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the prophet started crying.
And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha said, Jehovah has shewn me that thou wilt be king over Syria.

And she went and told her husband, saying, "Thus and thus sayeth the maid that is out of the land of Israel." And the king of Syria said, "Go thy way, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel." And he went and took with him ten talents of silver and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiments. And he brought the letter to the king of Israel containing this tenor, "Now when this letter is come up to thee: Behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou shouldest rid him of his leprosy." And when the king of Israel had read the letter, he rent his clothes and said, "Am I God, to slay and to make alive, that he should send to me, for to deliver a man from his leprosy? But consider, I pray you, and see how he picketh quarrels with me!" And when Elisha the man of God, heard how that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, he sent to the king, saying, "Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? Let him come to me, that he may know that there is a prophet in Israel." And Naaman came with his horses and his chariot, and stood at the door of Elisha. Then Elisha sent a messenger, saying, "Go and wash thee in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee as before, and thou shalt be clean." And Naaman was wroth and went away, and said, "Behold, I thought in myself, he would have come out, and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, and put his hand on the place of the disease, and so take away the leprosy. Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Might I not rather wash in them and be clean?" And so he turned and departed in an anger. Then came his servants and communed with him, and said, "Father if the prophet had bid thee done some great thing, oughtest thou not to have done it? How much rather then shouldest thou do it, while he sayeth to thee only, 'Wash and be clean?'" Then he went down and washed seven times in Jordan, as the man of God bade, and his flesh changed, like unto the flesh of a little boy, and he was clean. Then he turned again to the man of God and all his company with him, and came and stood before him and said, "Behold, I know that there is no God in all the world, but in Israel. And now, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant." But he said, "As surely as the LORD liveth before whom I stand, I will receive none." And the other would have constrained him to receive: but he would not do it. And Naaman said, "If thou wilt not: yet I pray thee, may there not be given to thy servant the burden of two mules of earth? For thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt sacrifice nor offering unto any other God, than to the LORD. But herein the LORD be merciful to thy servant, for when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, he leaneth on mine hand, and I must worship in the house of Rimmon: Let the LORD, I pray thee, be merciful unto thy servant in this case." And he said to him, "Go in peace."

Then said Elijah to Elisha, "Tarry here a fellowship: for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho." And he said, "As surely as the LORD liveth, and as surely as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee." And so they went to Jericho. And the children of the Prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha and said unto him, "Art thou not aware that the LORD will take away thy master from thee this day?" And he answered, "I know it also; hold your peace." And Elijah said to him, "Tarry, I pray thee, here: for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan." But he said, "As surely as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee." And so they went both of them together. And fifty men of the sons of the Prophets went and stood in sight afar off, as they two stood by Jordan. And then Elijah took his mantle and wrapped it together and smote the water, and it divided itself, part the one way and part the other, and they two went over on the dry land. And as soon as they were over, Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for thee before I be taken away from thee." And Elisha said, "Let me, I pray thee, have thy spirit double in me." And he said, "Thou hast asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken away from thee, thou shalt have it so: if thou do not, it shall not be." And as they went walking and talking, behold, there came a chariot of fire and horses of fire and put them asunder. And Elijah went up in the whirlwind to heaven. And Elisha saw and cried, "O my father, O my father! The chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof!" And saw him no more: and therefore took his own clothes and rent them in two pieces. And then he took up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back again and stood by Jordan's side, and took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the water and said, "Where is the LORD God of Elijah? Where is he?" And when he had smitten the water it divided part this way and part that way, and Elisha went over. And the children of the Prophets of Jericho which saw from afar, said, "The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha," and went against him and bowed to the earth unto him.

And he said, "Wherefore wilt thou go to him today, while it is neither new moon nor Sabbath day?" And she said, "Be content." Then she saddled an ass and said to the lad, "Lead away, and make me not cease riding, until I bid thee." And so she went and came unto the man of God, to mount Carmel. And when the man of God saw her a far, he said to Gehazi his servant, "See, where our servant cometh. Now run against her, and ask her, whether it be all well with her, and with her husband and with the lad." And she said, "All is well." Then she went to the man of God up to the hill and caught him by the feet. And Gehazi went to her, to thrust her away. But the man of God said, "Let her alone, for her soul is vexed, and the LORD hath hid it from me and hath not told it me." Then she said, "Did I desire a son of my lord? Did I not say, that thou shouldest not bring me in a Fool's Paradise?" Then he said to Gehazi, "Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand and away. If any man meet thee, salute him not. And if any salute thee, answer him not again. And put my staff upon the boy." Notwithstanding, the mother of the child said, "As sure as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee." And then he arose and followed her. Gehazi went before them and put the staff upon the lad. But there was neither voice nor attending. And then he went again against his master and told him saying, "It hath not awaked the lad." And when Elisha was come to the house: Behold, the lad was dead and laid upon his bed. And he went in and shut the door to the lad and him, and prayed unto the LORD. And he went up and lay upon the lad, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and the palm of his hands on the palm of his hands, and spread himself upon the lad that the flesh of the child waxed warm. And went again and walked once up and down in the house, and then went up and spread himself upon him. And the lad sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.

And it chanced, as he was telling the king how he restored a dead body to life again, that the woman whose son he revived, cried to the king for her house and her land.

Then said Elijah to Elisha, "Tarry here a fellowship: for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho." And he said, "As surely as the LORD liveth, and as surely as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee." And so they went to Jericho. And the children of the Prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha and said unto him, "Art thou not aware that the LORD will take away thy master from thee this day?" And he answered, "I know it also; hold your peace." And Elijah said to him, "Tarry, I pray thee, here: for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan." But he said, "As surely as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee." And so they went both of them together.
