2 Kings 2:7 shows the fifty prophets watching from a distance — they are the same witnesses who later declare the spirit on Elisha.

2 Kings 2:19 immediately follows: the bad water sets up Elisha's first miracle, demonstrating the power of the spirit that rested on him.

2 Kings 2:3 has the same sons of prophets warning Elisha of Elijah's departure — here they bow after it happens.

2 Kings 3:12 affirms that the word of the Lord is with Elisha — consistent with the spirit resting on him here.

2 Kings 4:1-4 recounts Elisha's miracle for the widow — another demonstration of the spirit's power he received in 2:15.

Numbers 11:25-29 records God transferring Moses' spirit to the elders — a pattern of prophetic succession when Elisha receives Elijah's spirit.

Numbers 27:20 instructs Moses to put his authority on Joshua — a formal transfer mirrored in the prophets' recognition of Elisha.

Joshua 3:7 has God exalting Joshua after crossing the Jordan — a type of Elisha being exalted after his own Jordan crossing.

Joshua 4:14 describes Joshua's exaltation as Moses' successor — a clear parallel to Elisha being recognized as Elijah's successor here.

1 Peter 4:14 uses the same 'rests upon' language: the Spirit rests on suffering believers, just as Elijah's spirit rested on Elisha.

In Numbers 11:17, God takes some of Moses' spirit and puts it on the elders — the same 'spirit resting' dynamic from leader to successor.

Isaiah 11:2 says the Spirit of the LORD will rest on the Messiah — a similar phrase to the spirit of Elijah resting on Elisha.
