2 Kings 2:6

And Elijah said unto him, tarry, I pray thee, here,.... At Jericho, seemingly very desirous to get rid of him, that he might not see his assumption:

for the Lord hath sent me to Jordan: where passing that he was to be taken up:

and he said, c Elisha swore, as before, he would not leave him:

and they two went on; to Jordan, which was six miles from Jericho k.
