2 Kings 2:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ accompanied by 50 men from the Guild of Prophets, who stood at a short distance from them while they were both standing by the Jordan. ⁸ Elijah took off his ornamented cloak, wrapped it up in a roll, struck the water, and all of a sudden the water divided into two parts! One side of the river stood still opposite the other until the two of them crossed over on dry ground.

⁹ When they had crossed the Jordan River,^[a] Elijah invited Elisha, “Ask me what you want me to do for you before I’m taken away from you.”

So Elisha asked, “Please, may there be a double portion of^[b] your spirit upon me!”
