Elijah, taking his leave of Elisha, with his mantle divideth Jordan, 2Ki_2:1-8; and granting Elisha his request on condition, is taken up by a fiery chariot into heaven, 2Ki_2:9-11. Elisha, dividing Jordan with Elijah’s mantle, is acknowledged his successor, 2Ki_2:12-18. He with salt healeth the waters at Jericho, 2Ki_2:19-22. Children mock him; he curseth them, and they are devoured by two bears, 2Ki_21:23-25.
