Elijah had a helper named Elisha. Elisha stayed close to Elijah everywhere he went.
Elijah asked, “What can I do for you before I go?” Elisha said, “Please give me twice as much of your spirit!”
Suddenly, a chariot of fire with horses of fire appeared! A whirlwind took Elijah up to heaven. Elijah's cloak fell, and Elisha picked it up. Now Elisha was God's prophet.
