Accordingly the king in a very little time died, as Elijah had foretold;
but Jehoram his brother succeeded him in the kingdom, for he died without
children: but for this Jehoram, he was like his father Ahab in wickedness,
and reigned twelve years, indulging himself in all sorts of wickedness
and impiety towards God, for, leaving off his worship, he worshipped foreign
gods; but in other respects he was an active man. Now at this time it was
that Elijah disappeared from among men, and no one knows of his death to
this very day; but he left behind him his disciple Elisha, as we have formerly
declared. And indeed, as to Elijah, and as to Enoch, who was before the
deluge, it is written in the sacred books that they disappeared, but so
that nobody knew that they died.
