← 2 Kings 2:16	2 Kings 2:17 (KJV)	2 Kings 2:18 →
And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.	And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.	And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?
