Depression: The Cause of Suicides In The Bible
And it came to pass when the Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a
whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. And Elijah said unto
Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Beth-el. And
Elisha said unto him, As the Lord liveth and as my soul liveth, I will not
leave thee. So they went down to Beth-el. And the sons of the prophets that
were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha and said unto him, Knowest thou that
the Lord will take away thy master from thy head today? And he said, Yea, I
know it. Hold your peace.
And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee, for the Lord
hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul
liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho. And the sons of the
prophets that were in Jericho came to Elisha and said unto him, Knowest thou
that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head, today? And he
answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. And Elijah said unto him,
Tarry, I pray thee, for the Lord hath sent me to Jordan. And he said unto
him, as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And
they two went on.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view from
afar, and they two stood by Jordan. And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped
it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither,
so that they two went over on dry ground. And it came to pass, when they
were gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee,
before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double
portion of thy spirit be upon me. And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing;
nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto
thee; but if not, it shall not be so.
And it came to pass as they still went on, and talked, that behold, there
appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both
asunder; and Elijah went up in a whirlwind into heaven.
