And it came to be, when they had passed over, that Eliyahu said to Elisha, 'Ask what I am to do for you, before I am taken away from you!' And Elisha said, 'Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.'

And he said, 'You have made it hard to ask, yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it is yours; but if not, it is not.'

And when the sons of the prophets who were from Yeriho saw him, they said, 'The spirit of Eliyahu rests on Elisha.' And they came to meet him, and bowed to the ground before him.
16.
And they said to him, 'Look, there are fifty strong men with your servants. Please let them go and search for your master, lest the Spirit of YHWH has taken him up and cast him upon some mountain or into some valley.' And he said, 'Send no one.'
17.
But they pressed upon him till he was ashamed, and he said, 'Send.' So they sent fifty men, and they searched for three days but did not find him.

And he said, 'Bring me a new bowl, and put salt in it.' And they brought it to him.
21.
And he went out to the source of the water, and threw salt in there, and said, 'Thus said YHWH, 'I have healed this water - no longer shall death or barrenness come from it.''

And the waters were healed, to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
