In the days of elisha he went to shunem a city of issachar and meet a very rich woman and for the rest of the story read 2 kings 4 : 8 - 37 有一天以利沙島書念去。在那里他遇到了一個很有錢的夫人。剩下的故事請閱讀列王紀下4章8 - 37節。
Elijah ' s chosen successor was the prophet elisha ; elijah designated elisha as such by leaving his mantle with him ( 2 kings 2 : 13 - 15 ) , so that his wish for " a double portion " of the older prophet ' s spirit ( 2 : 9 ) , in allusion to the preference shown the first - born son in the division of the father ' s estate ( deuteronomy 21 : 17 ) , had been fulfilled 以利亞所選的繼承者是先知以利沙;以利亞指定了以利沙,還把斗篷留給了他(列王記下2 : 13 ? ? 15 ) ,所以他希望這位年老先知的靈魂“加倍地感動他” ( 2 : 9 ) ,是引喻出父親對長子的偏愛,把財產加倍地分給他(申命記21 : 17 ) ,而這也已經實現了。
