2 Kings 6:1-7 ▼

1 One day the Guild of Prophets told Elisha, |Notice how the place where we are living is too small for us.

2 Let's go to the Jordan River, fashion some rafters, and build a place for us so we can live there.| So he said, |Go!|

3 Someone asked, |Would you be willing to come with your servants?| |I'm willing,| he replied.

4 So he accompanied them, and when they came to the Jordan River, they cut down some trees.

5 It happened that as one of them was felling a beam, his axe head fell into the water. He cried out, |Oh no! Master! The axe was on loan to me!|

6 The man of God asked, |Where did it fall?| When he was shown the place, he cut off a branch, tossed it there, and made the iron axe head float.

7 Then Elisha said, |Pick it up!| So the young man reached out and picked it up.
