b was killed in battle three years afterwards, and later,
Jezebel met with a terrible death, for she was thrown from a
window by her own servants, and crushed to death on the stones
below.

When the time came for Elijah's work on earth to cease, he
took Elisha with him to a place called Gilgal. They crossed
the River Jordan in a manner as wonderful as that of the
passage of the Israelites into Canaan, many years before.
Elijah struck the waters with his mantle and they parted,
leaving; a pathway over which the two walked in safety.

There, while these two men of God were talking together, a
chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared, and parted them.
Elijah was swept up into the chariot, and was carried away
into heaven. But before he disappeared, his mantle fell from
him. Elisha took it up, and with it received the power of
performing miracles which God had given to Elijah, the man who
did not die.
