2 KINGS 2:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;”
Elisha picks up Elijah's mantle, fallen from him as he ascended — the mantle, once Elijah's instrument, now becomes Elisha's. The physical succession of the garment symbolizes the transmission of prophetic office; what was Elijah's sign of separation is now Elisha's badge of authority.
