He said, "You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so."

The men of the city said to Elisha, "Look, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land miscarries."
20 And he said fetch for me a jar new and put there salt and they took [it] to him.
He said, "Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it." They brought it to him.

He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
