Elisha asks for a double portion of Elijah’s spirit, and Elijah goes up by a whirlwind into heaven

엘리사가 엘리야의 영감이 갑절이나 있기를 구하고 엘리야가 회리바람을 타고 승천함

2 Kings 2:9–12: When they had gone over, Elijah says to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you.” Elisha says, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be on me.” Elijah says (2:10 does not name him: WEB “He said”, the Korean Revised Version 가로되), “You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it will be so for you; but if not, it will not be so.” The text says, “As they continued on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.” Elisha sees it, and he cries, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” He sees him no more. Then he takes hold of his own clothes and tears them in two pieces. The Korean Revised Version names Elisha at 2:12 (이에 엘리사가 자기의 옷을 잡아), where WEB says “Then he”.
