2 Kings
As Elijah and Elisha were walking and talking, chariots of fire and horses of fire separated them. Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven while Elisha watched and cried out. Elisha then tore his clothes in grief (2 Kings 2:11–12).
11It happened, as they still went on, and talked, that behold, [there appeared] a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, which parted them both apart; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and the horsemen of it! He saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and tore them in two pieces.
