2 Kings 2:16 in Context — 2 Kings 2
14 E tomando o manto de Elias que se lhe havia caído, feriu as águas, e disse: Onde está o SENHOR, o Deus de Elias? E assim que houve do mesmo modo ferido as águas, apartaram-se a um e a outro lado, e passou Eliseu.
15 E vendo-lhe os filhos dos profetas que estavam em Jericó da outra parte, disseram: O espírito de Elias repousou sobre Eliseu. E vieram-lhe a receber, e inclinaram-se a ele até a terra.
16 E disseram-lhe: Eis que há com teus servos cinquenta homens fortes; vão agora e busquem o teu senhor; talvez o Espírito do SENHOR o levantou, e o lançou em algum monte ou em algum vale. E ele lhes disse: Não envieis.
17 Mas eles lhe importunaram, até que envergonhando-se, disse: Enviai. Então eles enviaram cinquenta homens, os quais o buscaram três dias, mas não o acharam.
18 E quando voltaram a ele, que se havia restado em Jericó, ele lhes disse: Não vos disse eu que não fôsseis?
