2 Kings 6:1-7 ▼

1 The disciples of the prophets said to Elisha, |The place where we're staying is too small for us.

2 Let's go to the Jordan River. Each of us can get some logs and make a place for us to live there.| Elisha said, |Go ahead.|

3 Then one of the disciples asked, |Won't you please come with us?| Elisha answered, |I'll go.|

4 So he went with them. They came to the Jordan River and began to cut down trees.

5 As one of them was cutting down a tree, the ax head fell into the water. He cried out, |Oh no, master! It was borrowed!|

6 The man of God asked, |Where did it fall?| When he showed Elisha the place, Elisha cut off a piece of wood. He threw it into the water at that place and made the ax head float.

7 Elisha said, |Pick it up.| The disciple reached for it and picked it up.
