Elisha Succeeds Elijah

¹⁵ Now when ^(A)the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho opposite him saw him, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” And they came to meet him and bowed themselves to the ground before him. ¹⁶ They said to him, “Behold now, there are with your servants fifty strong men, please let them go and search for your master; perhaps ^(B)the Spirit of the Lord has taken him up and cast him on some mountain or into some valley.” And he said, “You shall not send.”
