Eliseus wil not part from Elias. 7. Fiftie disciples folow them to Iordan. 8.
The water is diuided by Elias cloke, and they two pa&esset; the drie chanel, 9.
Elias is a&esset;umpted in a firie chariote, and his duble spirite is geuen to Eliseus,
13. who returning by like miraculous meanes ouer Iordan, the disciples receiue
and honour him as their religious Superiour. 16. They seeke Elias, but
find him not. 19. Eliseus amendeth the waters by casting in salt. 23. Boyes
are torne by beares for mocking Eliseus.
1 And it came to passe, when our Lord would take vp
Elias by a hurle winde into note heauen, Elias and Eliseus
went from Galgal.
2 And Elias sayd to Eliseus: Sitte here,
because our Lord hath sent me as far as Bethel. To whom
Eliseus sayd: Our Lord liueth, and thy soule liueth, I wil not
leaue thee. note And when he was come downe to Bethel,
3 the
children of the prophetes, that were in Bethel, went forth to
Eliseus, and sayd to him: Doest thou know, that this day our
Lord wil take thy maister from thee? Who answered:I also
know it: hold your peace.
4 And Elias sayd to Eliseus: Sitte
here, because our Lord hath sent me into Iericho. And he
sayd: Our Lord liueth, & thy soule liueth, I wil not leaue thee.
And when they were come to Iericho,
5 the children of the
prophetes, that were in Iericho, came to Eliseus, and sayd to
him: Doest thou know that this day our Lord wil take away
thy maister from thee? And he sayd: I also know it, hold your
peace.
6 And Elias sayd to him: Sitte here, because our Lord
hath sent me as farre as Iordan. Who sayd: Our Lord liueth,
and thy soule liueth, I wil not leaue thee: They went therfore
both together,
7 & fiftie men of the children of the prophetes
-- --
Elias. Eliseus
folowed them, who also stood ouer agaynst them, farre of:
but they two stood vpon Iordan.
8 And Elias tooke his mantel,
and folded it together, and smote the waters; which were
diuided into two partes, and they both passed ouer by the drie
land.
9 And when they were ouer, Elias sayd to Eliseus: Aske
what thou wilt haue me to doe for thee, before I be taken
from thee. And Eliseus sayd: I besech thee that in me may
be note thy duble spirit.
10 who answered: Thou hast asked a
hard thing: Neuerthelesse if thou see me, when I shal be taken
from thee, thou shalt haue that thou hast asked: but if
thou see me not, thou shalt not haue it.
11 And when they
went forward, and going talked together, behold a fyrie chariote,
and fyrie horses parted them two asunder: and Elias
ascended by a hurle winde into heauen.
12 And Eliseus saw
him, and cried: My father, my father, the chariote of Israel,
and the guider therof. And he saw him no more: and he tooke
his garmentes, and rent them in two peeces.
13 And he tooke
vp the mantel of Elias, that was fallen to him: and returning
he stood vpon the banke of Iordan,
14 and with the mantel of
Elias, that fel downe to him, he smote the waters, and they
were not diuided. And he sayd: Where is the God of Elias,
now also? and he smote the waters, and they were diuided
this way and that way, and Eliseus passed ouer.
15 And the
children of the prophetes, that were in Iericho, ouer agaynst
him seing him, sayd: The spirit of Elias hath rested vpon Eliseus.
And coming to meete him, note adored him flatte to the
ground,
16 and they sayd to him: Behold, there are with thy
seruantes fiftie strong men, that can goe, and seeke thy maister,
lest perhaps the spirit of our Lord hath taken him, and
cast him vpon one of the mountaines, or into one of the valleis.
Who sayd: Send not.
17 And they forced him, til he agreed,
and sayd: Send. And they sent fiftie men. Who when
they had sought three daies, found not.
18 And they returned
to him: but he dwelt in Iericho, and he sayd to them: Did I
not say to you: Send not?
19 The men also of the citie sayd to
Eliseus: Behold the habitation of this citie is verie good, as
thy selfe my lord perceiuest: but the waters are very il, and
the ground barren.
20 But he sayd: Fetch me a new vessel,
and put salt into it. Which when they had brought,
21 going
out to the fountayne of the waters, he cast salt into it, and
sayd: Thus sayth our Lord: I haue amended these waters, and
-- --
Of Israel Ioram.
death shal no more be in them, nor barrennesse.
22 The waters
therfore were amended vntil this day, according to the
word of Eliseus, which he spake.
23 And from thence he went
vp into Bethel: & when he went vp by the way, little laddes
came forth out of the citie, and mocked him, saying: Come
vp baldhead, come vp baldhead.
24 Who when he had looked
backe, he saw them, & cursed them in the name of our Lord:
and two beares came forth out of the forest, & tore of them
two and fourtie boyes.
25 and from thence he went into the
mount of Carmel, and from thence he turned into Samaria.
