2 Kings 2:5-7

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁵ Then the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho came up to Elisha and said, ‘Do you know that the Lord will take your master away from you today? ’

He said, ‘Yes, I know. Be quiet.’

⁶ Elijah said to him, ‘Stay here; the Lord is sending me to the Jordan.’^(A)

But Elisha said, ‘As the Lord lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.’ So the two of them went on.

⁷ Fifty men from the sons of the prophets came and stood observing them at a distance while the two of them stood by the Jordan.
