And the sons of the prophets that were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha, and said unto him,
Knowest thou that Jehovah will take away thy master from thy head to-day?
And he said,
Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
And Elijah said unto him,
Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for Jehovah hath sent me to Jericho.
And he said,
As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee.
So they came to Jericho.
