Elijah and Elisha go to Beth-el, and from thence to Jordan together, 2 Kings 2:1. The waters are divided, when smote with Elijah's mantle, and they walk through, 2 Kings 2:8. Elijah takes his leave of Elisha, and is taken up into heaven by a whirlwind, 2 Kings 2:9.

Elisha heals the unwholesome waters, 2 Kings 2:19. Bears destroy the children who mocked him, 2 Kings 2:23.
