Elijah Is Taken to Heaven

2 It was near the time for the Lord to take Elijah. He was going to take him by a whirlwind up into heaven. Elijah and Elisha were at Gilgal. ² Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here. The Lord has told me to go to Bethel.”

But Elisha said, “As the Lord lives, and as you live, I won’t leave you.” So they went down to Bethel. ³ A group of the prophets at Bethel came to Elisha. They said to him, “Do you know the Lord will take your master away from you today?”

Elisha said, “Yes, I know. But don’t talk about it.”
