2 Kings

The Floating Axe Head

6
Chapter 6
1 And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, "See now, the place where we are sitting before you is too narrow for us." 2 Please let us go to the Jordan, and let us take from there each man one beam, and let us make for ourselves there a place to dwell there. And he said, "Go." 3 Then one said, "Please go with your servants." And he said, "I will go." 4 And he went with them. They came to the Jordan and cut wood. 5 And it happened that the one was dropping the beam and the iron fell into the water, and he cried out and said, "Ah, my lord, it was borrowed!" 6 And the man of God said, "Where did it fall?" And he showed him the place. And he cut a stick and threw it there, and the iron floated. 7 Then he said to him, "Take it up." So he reached out his hand and took it.
