2 Kings 6:1-7 ▼

1 The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we live and meet with you is too small for us.

2 Please let us go to the Jordan, and each man take a beam from there, and let’s make us a place there, where we may live.” He answered, “Go!”

3 One said, “Please be pleased to go with your servants.” He answered, “I will go.”

4 So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.

5 But as one was cutting down a tree, the ax head fell into the water. Then he cried out and said, “Alas, my master! For it was borrowed.”

6 The man of God asked, “Where did it fall?” He showed him the place. He cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float.

7 He said, “Take it.” So he put out his hand and took it.
