Barnes' Notes

2 Kings 2:1

The events of this chapter are related out of their chronological order. Elijah' s translation did not take place until after the accession of Jehoram in Judah II Chronicles 21:12, which was not until the fifth year of Jehoram of Israel II Kings 8:16. The writer of Kings, having concluded his notices of the ministry of Elijah in chapter 1, and being about to pass in II Kings 3 to the ministry of Elisha, thought it best to insert at this point the final scene of Elijah' s life, though it did not occur until several years later.

Gilgal - The modern Jiljilieh, on the highland between Nablous and Beitin (Bethel), about eight and a half miles from the latter, is now commonly supposed to be the Gilgal here mentioned. Some regard it as the ordinary residence of Elisha II Kings 4:38.
