After Elijah was taken up, the sons of the prophets went out to look for him yet were unable to find him anywhere. Having remained behind at Jericho, his successor received them upon their return and answered them with a reminder that he had told them not to go.

Those who had seen Enoch taken searched diligently for him, hoping he might be discovered in one of the secluded places where he had been accustomed to withdraw.
