  1  Elijah, taking his leave of Elisha, with his mantle divides
    Jordan;
 9  and, granting Elisha his request, is taken up by a fiery
    chariot into heaven.
12  Elisha, dividing Jordan with Elijah's mantle, is
    acknowledged his successor.
16  The young prophets, hardly obtaining leave to seek Elijah,
    cannot find him.
19  Elisha with salt heals the unwholesome waters.
23  Bears destroy the children that mocked Elisha.

VERSE 8 
 - his mantle.
  [                      ,] his sheep skin, says the Septuagint;
  the skins of sheep being formerly worn by prophets as the

- a double portion.
  This probably refers to the law respecting the first-born, who
  had a double portion of the property of his father.  As Elisha
  may have considered himself as the first-born of Elijah, so he
  requested a double portion of his spiritual influence.

   * 1Ki 12:28-32 Ho 4:15; 10:5,15 Am 3:14; 4:4; 5:5; 7:13
- little children.
  The words {n‰ƒrim ketannim} not only signify little children
  but young men; for {katon} signifies not only little, but
  young, in opposition to old; and {n„ƒr} signifies not only a
  child, but a young man grown to years of maturity:  thus Isaac
  is called {n„ƒr} when twenty-eight years old, Joseph when
  thirty-nine, and Rehoboam when forty.  These idolatrous young
  men, having heard of the ascension of Elijah, without
  believing it, blasphemously bade Elisha to follow him.  The
  venerable prophet, from a Divine impulse, pronounced a curse
  "in the name of the Lord," which was immediately followed by
  the most terrible judgment; thus evincing the Source from
  which it flowed.

   * Job 19:18; 30:1,8-31 Pr 20:11; 22:6,15 Ec 11:10 Isa 1:4; 3:5
