Commentaire sur Rois 2 2:2
וַיֹּאמֶר֩ אֵלִיָּ֨הוּ אֶל־אֱלִישָׁ֜ע שֵֽׁב־נָ֣א פֹ֗ה כִּ֤י יְהוָה֙ שְׁלָחַ֣נִי עַד־בֵּֽית־אֵ֔ל וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלִישָׁ֔ע חַי־יְהוָ֥ה וְחֵֽי־נַפְשְׁךָ֖ אִם־אֶעֶזְבֶ֑ךָּ וַיֵּרְד֖וּ בֵּֽית־אֵֽל׃
Élie dit à Élisée: "Reste ici, de grâce, car l’Éternel m’a donné une mission pour Béthel. Vive Dieu et par ta propre vie! répondit Élisée, je ne te quitterai pas." Et ils se rendirent ensemble à Béthel.
Rashi on II Kings
Please remain here. He [Eliyahu] wished to drive him away because of his humility, so that he [Elisha] would not see him being taken away.2Alternatively, he did not want Elisha to be frightened by seeing the manner by which he was being taken away.—Ralbag
