Elijah told Elisha to stay while he went to another place three times. Each time of the 3 times, Elisha refused, not as a dishonor to the command but as as an honor to Elijah and God.Elijah asks Elisha if there is anything he needs before he goes. Elisha asks for a double portion of his spirit. This seems like a selfish request. We could interpret this as Elisha’s request to be more powerful than his master. But this isn’t the case. The double portion is actually the right of the firstborn (Deuteronomy 21). The firstborn is allotted the king’s entire kingdom (the double portion). Elijah was asking for his inheritance. He wants to continue Elijah’s ministry.
