2 Kings 2:13-25 - Elisha Succeeds Elijah

13 And he will lift, up the wide cloak of Elijah which fell from above him, and he will turn back and stand by the lip of Jordan. 14 And he will take the wide cloak of Elijah which fell from off him and strike the waters, and say, Where is Jehovah the God of Elijah, even he? And he will strike the waters and they will divide hence and thence, and Elisha will pass through.

15 And the sons of the prophets who were opposite in Jericho will see, and they will say, The spirit of Elijah rested upon Elisha. And they will come to meet him, and they will worship to him to the earth.

16 And they will say to him, Behold now, there is with thy servants fifty men, sons of strength: they shall go now and seek thy lord, lest the spirit of Jehovah lifted him up, and it will cast him upon one of the mountains or into one of the valleys. And he will say, Ye shall not send.

17 And they will press upon him till he was ashamed, and he will say, Send. And they will send fifty men; and they will seek three days, and they found not 18 And they will turn back to him, and he sitting in Jericho; and he will say to them, Did I not say to you, Ye shall not send?

19 And the men of the city will say to Elisha, Behold the situation of the city good, as my lord sees: and the waters evil and the land barren.

20 And he will say, Take to me a new dish, and put salt there. And they will take to him. 21 And he will go forth to the going forth of the waters, and he will cast salt there, and be will say, Thus said Jehovah, I healed these waters; there shall be no more from thence death and barren. 22 And the waters will be healed even to this day, wording to the word of Elisha which he spake.

23 And he will go up from thence to the house of God: and he going up in the way, and little boys will come forth from the city, and will scoff at him, and say to him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. 24 And he will turn behind him and see them, and he will curse them in the name of Jehovah. And, two she-bears will come forth from the forest and will rend of them forty and two children. 25 And he will go from thence to mount Cannel, and from thence he turned back to Shomeron.
