‏ 2 Kings 2:3

v. 3, 5, 7: The sons of the prophets, who studied in special schools, knew that Elijah would be taken away soon. They told Elisha at both Bethel and Jericho, "Do you know that the Lord will take away your master from over you today?" (2 Kings 2:3, 5 a). Elisha replied, "I know it; hold your peace," because he was already sad and wanted to focus on his last moments with Elijah. Fifty of these prophets watched from a distance to see what would happen (2 Kings 2:7 b).
