“And the sons of the prophets that were at Beth–el came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.”
The sons of the prophets declare that the LORD will take away Elijah — these communities of God-servants recognize the imminence of the event, yet Elisha asks them to remain silent. His silence reflects humility and the sacred nature of the moment; Elijah's departure belongs to God, not to human commentary.
