2:9 When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “What can I do for you, ¹  before I am taken away from you?” Elisha answered, “May I receive a double portion of the prophetic spirit that energizes you.” ² 

2:15 When the members of the prophetic guild in Jericho, ³  who were standing at a distance, ⁴  saw him do this, they said, “The spirit that energized Elijah ⁵  rests upon Elisha.” They went to meet him and bowed down to the ground before him. 2:16 They said to him, “Look, there are fifty capable men with your servants. Let them go and look for your master, for the wind sent from the Lord ⁶  may have carried him away and dropped him on one of the hills or in one of the valleys.” But Elisha ⁷  replied, “Don’t send them out.”
