=== Recall to heaven ===

Elijah's recall to heaven occurred shortly after the death of King [[Ahaziah of Israel|Ahaziah]]; this we may surmise because of a role that [[Elisha]] would play in a battle in which [[Jehoshaphat]] took part, in a coalition with King [[Jehoram of Israel|Jehoram]]. Elijah summoned Elisha and asked him to wait for him, first at [[Bethel]], then at [[Jericho]], and finally at [[Jordan (river)|Jordan]]. At this last spot, Elijah asked Elisha what sort of last favor Elijah might grant him. Elisha asked for "a double portion of thy spirit." Elijah said that he would be able to grant that, ''if'' Elisha would be able to see him during his rise to heaven. Then a chariot and team, all of fire, appeared, and separated the two prophets. As Elijah left the earth in a whirlwind his last act was to drop his mantle for Elisha to take.<ref>{{Bible ref|book=II_Kings|chap=2|verses=1-13|version=KJV}}</ref>
