Questions & answers

Frequently asked questions

What did Elisha ask Elijah to give him?

In 2 Kings 2:9 Elisha asks for a double portion of Elijah’s spirit. The wording recalls inheritance language in Deuteronomy 21:17 and fits the story of Elisha succeeding Elijah.

Why did Elisha take up the mantle?

The mantle had fallen when Elijah was taken away. Elisha picked it up, crossed the Jordan, and the other prophets recognized that Elijah’s spirit rested on him.
