Elijah Taken to Heaven

2 Now it happened when Yahweh was about to ^(A)take up Elijah by a ^[a]whirlwind to heaven, that Elijah went with ^(B)Elisha from ^(C)Gilgal. ² And Elijah said to Elisha, “^(D)Stay here please, for Yahweh has sent me as far as ^(E)Bethel.” But Elisha said, “^(F)As Yahweh lives and as your soul lives, I will not forsake you.” So they went down to Bethel. ³ Then ^(G)the sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from over ^[b]you today?” And he said, “Yes, I know; be silent.”
