1 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us. 2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye. 3 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go. 4 So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood. 5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.6.5 axe head: Heb. iron 6 And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim. 7 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.

以利沙把斧头浮上来
1 众先知门徒对以利沙说："请看，我们在你面前居住的那一个地方，对我们来说实在是太窄小了。2 请你让我们到约旦河，每人从那里取一根木头，我们要在那里为自己建造一个地方居住。"以利沙说："你们去吧！"3 有一个门徒说："请你和你的仆人们一起去。"他说："我会去的。"4 他就和他们同去。他们到了约旦河，就砍伐树木。5 有一个门徒砍伐木头的时候，斧头掉到水里去了。他就喊着说："惨啦！我主啊，这斧头是借回来的。"6 神人说："掉在哪里呢？"于是他把那地点指给他看。他砍了一根木头，丢在那里，那斧头就浮上来了。7 以利沙说："你自己拿上来吧。"他就伸手把它拿住了。
