“And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.”
The sons of the prophets at Bethel also know Elijah's departure will occur today — prophetic knowledge spreads among the faithful communities, yet all honor the solemnity by remaining silent. The circulation of this knowledge among scattered prophetic groups suggests a network of God's servants throughout Israel, a counter-witness to royal apostasy.
