2 Kings 2:13
"He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him,.... Which he had now no further need of, and Elisha had, having rent his clothes in two; and

this falling into his hands was a token of his succeeding him in his office, and that he should have the double portion of his spirit: and he went back, and stood by the brook of Jordan; at the place where he and Elijah had passed over together.
