The sons of the prophets at Jericho bow before Elisha and send fifty men, who search for three days

여리고의 선지자의 생도들이 엘리사 앞에 엎드리고 오십인을 보내어 사흘을 찾음

2 Kings 2:15–18: When the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho facing him see him, they say, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” They come to meet him, and bow themselves to the ground before him. They say to him, “See now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. Perhaps the LORD’s Spirit has taken him up, and put him on some mountain or into some valley.” He says, “Don’t send them.” When they urge him until he was ashamed, he says, “Send them.” Therefore they send fifty men; and they search for three days, but don’t find him. They come back to him while he stayed at Jericho; and he says to them, “Didn’t I tell you, ‘Don’t go’?” The Korean Revised Version names Elisha at 2:16 and twice at 2:18 (엘리사가), where WEB says “He” and “he”, and names no one at 2:17 (보내라 한지라).
