2 Kings 2:16-18 ▼

16 and say to him, “Now behold, there are fifty men with your servants, sons of valor: please let them go, and they seek your lord, lest the Spirit of YHWH has taken him up, and casts him on one of the hills or into one of the valleys”; and he says, “You do not send.”

17 And they press on him, until he is ashamed, and he says, “Send”; and they send fifty men, and they seek three days, and have not found him;

18 and they return to him—and he is abiding in Jericho—and he says to them, “Did I not say to you, Do not go?”
