After Ahab's death his ton, Anaziah, reigned, and ied the children of Israel into idolatry. But Jehoshaphat, who ruled the tribe of Judah, served the Lord. 'Ahaziah fell through his chamber lattice and was injured. He sent to Baal-zebnb to inquire if he woulo recover, and for this idolatry Elijah prophesied that he would die. Ahaziah sent men to take Elijah, but twice the prophet brought fire from heaven upon them. And the time came for Elijah to leave his prophet duties to Elisha. The latter, refusing to leave the older prophet, accompanied him to the river Jordan. "And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smcte 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 there appeared a' chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven." II Kings 2; 8-14.
