As Elisha may have considered himself as the first-born of Elijah, so he requested a double portion of his spiritual influence.

These idolatrous young men, having heard of the ascension of Elijah, without believing it, blasphemously bade Elisha to follow him. The venerable prophet, from a Divine impulse, pronounced a curse \"in the name of the Lord,\" which was immediately followed by the most terrible judgment; thus evincing the Source from which it flowed.
