Elisha was really determined to be with Elijah on the day Elijah was to be taken up in a whirlwind. The word for whirlwind means a storm, a tempest, or hurricane. So whatever it was it was BIG.
Elisha asked for a double portion of Elijah's spirit. He was asking for the customary inheritance of the first born son, in this case, Elisha was asking for the inheritance as Elijah's spiritual son or son in the faith. Elijah himself didn't have the power to do that.

What is a chariot of fire and horses of fire? There are a couple of references containing those words. They are found in 2 Kings 6. Kind of a strange conveyance wasn’t it? But not as strange as the wheel intersecting a wheel in Ezekiel chapters 1 and 10.
The company of prophets suggested that Elijah may have been taken up into the sky only to be deposited somewhere else. A similar thing took place with the apostle Philip after he baptized the eunuch. Philip appeared many miles away after the Spirit took him.
Acts 8:39-40
When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing.Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.

Since some youths were making fun of Elisha calling him "baldhead" guess that means that he was bald? After being mauled by the bears, they learned a lesson - don't curse God's prophets.
The woman who, with her sons, gathered the jars…what was the significance of the number of jars gathered? Was the number of jars gathered an indication of their faith. Would the Lord have filled all the jars, no matter how many were collected?
Can we make a connection today? How about if we go to the Lord completely open and empty will He fill us completely every time we go to Him that way? Reminds us of the song, Fill My Cup Lord.
Why did the Shunammite woman tell Gehazi that everything was all right? Her son had just died.
