2 Kings 2:3-7
Legacy Standard Bible
3 Then (A)the sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from over [a]you today?” And he said, “Yes, I know; be silent.”
4 And Elijah said to him, “Elisha, please (B)stay here, for Yahweh has sent me to (C)Jericho.” But he said, “(D)As Yahweh lives and as your soul lives, I will not forsake you.” So they came to Jericho. 5 (E)Then the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho approached Elisha and said to him, “(F)Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from over [b]you today?” And he [c]answered, “Yes, I know; be silent.” 6 Then Elijah said to him, “Please (G)stay here, for Yahweh has sent me to (H)the Jordan.” And he said, “As Yahweh lives and as your soul lives, I will not forsake 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, but the two of them stood by the Jordan.
