1 The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “Please notice that the place where we live under your supervision is too small for us.

2 Please let us go to the Jordan where we can each get a log and can build ourselves a place to live there.” “Go,” he said.

3 Then one said, “Please come with your servants.” “I’ll come,” he answered.

4 So he went with them, and when they came to the Jordan, they cut down trees.

5 As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron ax head fell into the water, and he cried out, “Oh, my master, it was borrowed! ”

6 Then the man of God asked, “Where did it fall? ” When he showed him the place, the man of God cut a piece of wood, threw it there, and made the iron float.

7 Then he said, “Pick it up.” So he reached out and took it.
