2 Kings 1:18      2 Kings 2:2

Second Kings 2:1

[Central to the Book of Kings (when viewed as a whole) are 14 stories from Elisha's prophetic ministry, divided into two sections of seven each. Compared to Elijah, these are less grandiose and more mundane. Most of the stories are not about kings but concern the poor and helpless. Elisha literally received a double blessing (verse 9), compared to the seven miracles described in 1 Kings 17; 18; 19; 21; 22 and 2 Kings 1.]

And it came to pass, when the Lord (Yahweh) was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind (storm wind – Hebr. searah), that Elijah walked with Elisha from Gilgal.
