2 Kings 2:10-12
Legacy Standard Bible
10 And he said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you (A)see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.” 11 As they were going along and talking, behold, there appeared (B)a chariot of fire and horses of fire, and it separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a [a]whirlwind to heaven. 12 And Elisha was seeing this and he was crying out, “(C)My father, my father, the [b]chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” And he saw [c]Elijah no more. Then (D)he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces.

10 “You have asked a difficult thing,” Elijah said, “yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours—otherwise, it will not.”
11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire(A) and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven(B) in a whirlwind.(C) 12 Elisha saw this and cried out, “My father! My father! The chariots(D) and horsemen of Israel!” And Elisha saw him no more. Then he took hold of his garment and tore(E) it in two.
