2 KINGS 2:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.”
The sons of the prophets at Jericho recognize that the spirit of Elijah has rested on Elisha — they bow before him, an act of recognition and submission. Elisha's identity as Elijah's successor is affirmed not by royal appointment but by the prophetic community's perception of God's spirit upon him.
