2 Kings 2:8 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 It was near the time for the Lord to take Elijah by a whirlwind up into heaven. Elijah and Elisha started to leave Gilgal.
2 Elijah said to Elisha, "Please stay here, because the Lord told me to go to Bethel." But Elisha said, "I promise, as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you." So the two men went down to Bethel.
3 The group of prophets at Bethel came to Elisha and said to him, "Do you know that the Lord will take your master away from you today?" Elisha said, "Yes, I know. Don't talk about it."
4 Elijah said to Elisha, "Please stay here, because the Lord told me to go to Jericho." But Elisha said, "I promise, as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you!" So the two men went to Jericho.
5 The group of prophets at Jericho came to Elisha and said to him, "Do you know that the Lord will take your master away from you today?" Elisha answered, "Yes, I know. Don't talk about it."
6 Elijah said to Elisha, "Please stay here, because the Lord told me to go to the Jordan River." Elisha answered, "I promise, as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you!" So the two men went on.
7 There were 50 men from the group of prophets who followed them. Elijah and Elisha stopped at the Jordan River. The 50 men stood far away from Elijah and Elisha.
8 Elijah took off his coat, folded it, and hit the water with it. The water separated to the right and to the left. Then Elijah and Elisha crossed the river on dry ground.
9 After they crossed the river, Elijah said to Elisha, "What do you want me to do for you before God takes me away from you?" Elisha said, "I ask you for a double share of your spirit on me."
10 Elijah said, "You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it will happen. But if you don't see me when I am taken from you, it will not happen."
11 Elijah and Elisha were walking and talking together. Suddenly, some horses and a chariot came and separated Elijah from Elisha. The horses and the chariot were like fire. Then Elijah was carried up into heaven in a whirlwind.
12 Elisha saw it, and shouted, "My father! My father! The chariot of Israel and his horses! " Elisha never saw Elijah again. Elisha grabbed his own clothes and tore them in two to show his sadness.
13 Elijah's coat had fallen to the ground, so Elisha picked it up. He went back and stood at the edge of the Jordan River.
14 He hit the water and said, "Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?" Just as Elisha hit the water, the water separated to the right and to the left! Then Elisha crossed the river.
15 When the group of prophets at Jericho saw Elisha, they said, "Elijah's spirit is now on Elisha!" They came to meet Elisha. They bowed very low to the ground before him.
16 They said, "Look, we have 50 good men. Please let them go and look for your master. Maybe the Lord's Spirit has taken Elijah up and dropped him on some mountain or in some valley." But Elisha answered, "No, don't send men to look for Elijah!"
17 The group of prophets begged Elisha until he was embarrassed. Then Elisha said, "Send the men to look for Elijah." The group of prophets sent the 50 men to look for Elijah. They looked three days, but they could not find him.
18 So the men went to Jericho where Elisha was staying and told him. Elisha said to them, "I told you not to go."
19 The men of the city said to Elisha, "Sir, you can see this city is in a nice place, but the water is bad. That is why the land cannot grow crops."
20 Elisha said, "Bring me a new bowl and put salt in it." They brought the bowl to Elisha.
21 Then he went out to the place where the water began flowing from the ground. Elisha threw the salt into the water and said, "The Lord said, 'I am making this water pure! From now on this water will not cause any more death or keep the land from growing crops.'"
22 The water became pure and is still good today. It happened just as Elisha had said.
23 Elisha went from that city to Bethel. He was walking up the hill to the city, and some boys were coming down out of the city. They began making fun of him. They said, "Go away, you bald-headed man! Go away, you bald-headed man!"
24 Elisha looked back and saw them. He asked the Lord to cause bad things to happen to them. Then two bears came out of the forest and attacked the boys. There were 42 boys ripped apart by the bears.
25 Elisha left Bethel and went to Mount Carmel and from there he went back to Samaria.
1 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when the LORD H3068 EDS would take up H5927 Elijah H452 into heaven H8064 D-AMP by a whirlwind H5591 , that Elijah H452 went H1980 W-VQY3MS with Elisha H477 from H4480 PREP Gilgal H1537 .
2 And Elijah H452 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Elisha H477 , Tarry H3427 here H6311 , I pray thee H4994 IJEC ; for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS hath sent H7971 me to H5704 PREP Bethel H1008 LFS . And Elisha H477 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , As the LORD H3068 EDS liveth H2416 AMS , and as thy soul H5315 liveth H2416 , I will not H518 PART leave H5800 thee . So they went down H3381 to Bethel H1008 LFS .
3 And the sons H1121 of the prophets H5030 that H834 RPRO were at Bethel H1008 LFS came forth H3318 W-VQY3MP to H413 PREP Elisha H477 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Knowest H3045 I-VQQ2MS thou that H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS will take away H3947 thy master H113 from M-PREP thy head H7218 today H3117 D-AMS ? And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Yea H1571 CONJ , I H589 PPRO-1MS know H3045 VQY1MS it ; hold ye your peace H2814 .
4 And Elijah H452 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , Elisha H477 , tarry H3427 here H6311 , I pray thee H4994 IJEC ; for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS hath sent H7971 me to Jericho H3405 . And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , As the LORD H3068 EDS liveth H2416 AMS , and as thy soul H5315 liveth H2416 , I will not H518 PART leave H5800 thee . So they came H935 W-VQY3MP to Jericho H3405 .
5 And the sons H1121 of the prophets H5030 that H834 RPRO were at Jericho H3405 came H5066 to H413 PREP Elisha H477 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Knowest H3045 I-VQQ2MS thou that H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS will take away H3947 thy master H113 from M-PREP thy head H7218 today H3117 D-AMS ? And he answered H559 W-VQY3MS , Yea H1571 CONJ , I H589 PPRO-1MS know H3045 VQY1MS it ; hold ye your peace H2814 .
6 And Elijah H452 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , Tarry H3427 , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , here H6311 ; for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS hath sent H7971 me to Jordan H3383 . And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , As the LORD H3068 EDS liveth H2416 AMS , and as thy soul H5315 liveth H2416 , I will not H518 PART leave H5800 thee . And they two H8147 went on H1980 W-VQY3MP .
7 And fifty H2572 W-MMP men H376 of the sons H1121 of the prophets H5030 went H1980 , and stood H5975 to view H5048 M-PREP afar off H7350 M-AMS : and they two H8147 stood H5975 VQQ3MP by H5921 PREP Jordan H3383 .
8 And Elijah H452 took H3947 W-VQY3MS his mantle H155 CFS-3MS , and wrapped it together H1563 , and smote H5221 the waters H4325 D-CMS , and they were divided H2673 hither H2008 ADV and thither H2008 , so that they two H8147 ONUM-3MP went over H5674 on dry ground H2724 .
9 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when they were gone over H5674 , that Elijah H452 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Elisha H477 , Ask H7592 VQI2MS what H4100 IGAT I shall do H6213 VQY1MS for thee , before H2962 B-ADV I be taken away H3947 from thee . And Elisha H477 said H559 W-VQY3MS , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , let a double H8147 ONUM portion H6310 of thy spirit H7307 be H1961 upon H413 PREP me .
10 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Thou hast asked H7592 a hard thing H7185 : nevertheless , if H518 PART thou see H7200 me when I am taken H3947 from thee , it shall be H1961 so H3651 ADV unto thee ; but if H518 PART not H369 ADV , it shall not H3808 NADV be H1961 so .
11 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , as they H1992 PPRO-3MP still went on H1980 , and talked H1696 , that , behold H2009 IJEC , there appeared a chariot H7393 of fire H784 CMS , and horses H5483 of fire H784 CMS , and parted H6504 them both H8147 ONUM-3MP asunder H996 PREP ; and Elijah H452 went up H5927 W-VHY3MS by a whirlwind H5591 into heaven H8064 D-AMD .
12 And Elisha H477 saw H7200 VQPMS it , and he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS cried H6817 , My father H1 CMS-1MS , my father H1 CMS-1MS , the chariot H7393 of Israel H3478 , and the horsemen H6571 thereof . And he saw H7200 him no H3808 W-NPAR more H5750 ADV : and he took hold H2388 of his own clothes H899 , and rent H7167 them in two H8147 pieces H7168 .
13 He took up H7311 also the mantle H155 of Elijah H452 that H834 RPRO fell H5307 from PREP him , and went back H7725 , and stood H5975 by H5921 PREP the bank H8193 CFS of Jordan H3383 ;
14 And he took H3947 W-VQY3MS the mantle H155 of Elijah H452 that H834 RPRO fell H5307 from him , and smote H5221 the waters H4325 D-CMS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Where H346 IGAT is the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Elijah H452 ? and when he H1931 PPRO-3MS also H637 CONJ had smitten H5221 the waters H4325 D-CMS , they parted H2673 hither H2008 ADV and thither H2008 : and Elisha H477 went over H5674 .
15 And when the sons H1121 of the prophets H5030 which H834 RPRO were to view H5048 M-PREP at Jericho H3405 saw H7200 him , they said H559 W-VQY3MP , The spirit H7307 NFS of Elijah H452 doth rest H5117 on H5921 PREP Elisha H477 . And they came H935 W-VQY3MP to meet H7125 L-VQFC-3MS him , and bowed themselves H7812 to the ground H776 NFS-3FS before him .
16 And they said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Behold H2009 IJEC now H4994 IJEC , there be H3426 with H854 PREP thy servants H5650 fifty H2572 MMP strong H1121 men H376 NMP ; let them go H1980 , we pray thee H4994 IJEC , and seek H1245 thy master H113 : lest peradventure H6435 CONJ the Spirit H7307 NFS of the LORD H3068 EDS hath taken him up H5375 , and cast H7993 him upon some H259 mountain H2022 , or H176 CONJ into some H259 B-RFS valley H1516 . And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Ye shall not H3808 NADV send H7971 .
17 And when they urged H6484 him till H5704 PREP he was ashamed H954 , he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Send H7971 . They sent H7971 therefore fifty H2572 MMP men H376 NMS ; and they sought H1245 three H7969 days H3117 NMP , but found H4672 him not H3808 W-NPAR .
18 And when they came again H7725 W-VUY3MP to H413 PREP-3MS him , (for he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS tarried H3427 VQPMS at Jericho H3405 , ) he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS them , Did I not H3808 say H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 you , Go H1980 not H408 NPAR ?
19 And the men H376 CMP of the city H5892 D-GFS said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP Elisha H477 , Behold H2009 IJEC , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , the situation H4186 of this city H5892 D-GFS is pleasant H2896 AMS , as H834 K-RPRO my lord H113 seeth H7200 VQPMS : but the water H4325 WD-NMD is naught H7451 AMP , and the ground H776 WD-GFS barren H7921 .
20 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Bring H3947 me a new H2319 cruse H6746 , and put H7760 W-VQI2MP salt H4417 NMS therein H8033 ADV . And they brought H3947 W-VQY3MP it to H413 him .
21 And he went forth H3318 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the spring H4161 NMS of the waters H4325 D-CMS , and cast H7993 the salt H4417 NMS in there H8033 ADV , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Thus H3541 saith H559 W-VQY3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , I have healed H7495 these H428 D-DPRO-3MP waters H4325 D-CMS ; there shall not H3808 ADV be H1961 VQY3MS from thence H8033 M-ADV any more H5750 ADV death H4194 NMS or barren H7921 land .
22 So the waters H4325 D-CMS were healed H7495 unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS , according to the saying H1697 K-NMS of Elisha H477 which H834 RPRO he spoke H1696 .
23 And he went up H5927 W-VHY3MS from thence H8033 M-ADV unto Bethel H1008 LFS : and as he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS was going up H5927 by the way H1870 , there came forth H3318 VQQ3MP little H6996 children H5288 out of H4480 PREP the city H5892 D-GFS , and mocked H7046 him , and said H559 W-VQY3MP unto him , Go up H5927 , thou bald head H7142 ; go up H5927 , thou bald head H7142 .
24 And he turned H6437 back H310 , and looked H7200 on them , and cursed H7043 them in the name H8034 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS . And there came forth H3318 two H8147 MFD she bears H1677 out of H4480 PREP the wood H3293 , and tore H1234 forty H705 MMP and two H8147 children H3206 of H4480 PREP them .
25 And he went H1980 W-VQY3MS from thence H8033 M-ADV to H413 PREP mount H2022 CMS Carmel H3760 , and from thence H8033 WM-ADV he returned H7725 VQQ3MS to Samaria H8111 .
