2 Kings 2:8      2 Kings 2:10

Second Kings 2:9

And it came to pass, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you."
Then Elisha answered, "I pray you, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." [In Deut. 21:17, the firstborn has the right to a double inheritance. The meaning is that he will be Elijah's successor. At the same time, there is also a literal fulfillment. Elijah raises one person from the dead (1 Kings 17:22–23), while Elisha raises two (2 Kings 4:35; 13:21), even though the last miracle occurs after his death!]
