2 Reis 6

1 The sons of the prophets told Elisha, "Look, the place we meet with you is too small for us. 2 Let’s go to the Jordan and each of us can carry one log back. We can build a new place there for us to meet."

"Go ahead," said Elisha.

3 One of them asked, "Please come with your servants."

"I’ll come," he replied.

4 So he went with them. When they got to the Jordan, they started cutting down trees. 5 But as one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron ax head fell into the water. "Oh no! My master, it was one that was borrowed!" he shouted.

6 "Where did it fall?" the man of God asked. When he showed him the place, the man of God cut a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron ax head float.

7 "Pick it up," Elisha told the man. So he reached out his hand and picked it up.
