2 Kings 2:14 (c) This is an emblem of authority. Elijah, who was the master of Elisha, left this garment for Elisha, so that all would know that Elisha now was the successor to Elijah, and could and would exercise all the powers of Elijah. It may be understood as a type of spiritual power conveyed from the greater to the lesser.
