The chapter divides into two sections: Elisha accompanies Eliyahu to his eventual ascent in a storm to heaven, and Elisha’s assumption of the role as prophet instead of Eliyahu. The description of Eliyahu’s ascent to the heavens is shrouded in many mysterious remarks that need explanation and is built in the three and four model.
