וַיֹּאמֶר֩ אֵלִיָּ֨הוּ אֶל־אֱלִישָׁ֜ע שֵֽׁב־נָ֣א פֹ֗ה כִּ֤י יְהוָה֙ שְׁלָחַ֣נִי עַד־בֵּֽית־אֵ֔ל וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלִישָׁ֔ע חַי־יְהוָ֥ה וְחֵֽי־נַפְשְׁךָ֖ אִם־אֶעֶזְבֶ֑ךָּ וַיֵּרְד֖וּ בֵּֽית־אֵֽל׃
И сказал Илия Елисею: 'Останься здесь, я умоляю тебя; ибо Господь послал меня до Вифлаила.' И Елисей сказал: 'Жив Господь и жива душа твоя, и я не оставлю тебя.' И они пошли в Вифель.—
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
