2 Elijah told Elisha, |Stay here, for the LORD has sent me to Bethel.| But Elisha said, |As certainly as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you.| So they went down to Bethel. 3 Some members of the prophetic guild in Bethel came out to Elisha and said, |Do you know that today the LORD is going to take your master from you?| He answered, |Yes, I know. Be quiet.| 4 Elijah said to him, |Elisha, stay here, for the LORD has sent me to Jericho.| But he replied, |As certainly as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you.| So they went to Jericho. 5 Some members of the prophetic guild in Jericho approached Elisha and said, |Do you know that today the LORD is going to take your master from you?| He answered, |Yes, I know. Be quiet.| 6 Elijah said to him, |Stay here, for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan.| But he replied, |As certainly as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you.| So they traveled on together. 2 Kings 2:2-6, New English Translation.
