4 And he went with them. And when they had arrived at the Jordan, they were cutting down wood.
5 Then it happened that, while someone was cutting timber, the iron of the ax fell into the water. And he cried out and said: "Alas, alas, alas, my lord! For this thing was borrowed."
6 Then the man of God said, "Where did it fall?" And he indicated to him the place. Then he cut off a piece of wood, and he threw it in. And the iron floated up.
7 And he said, "Take it." And he extended his hand, and took it.
8 Now the king of Syria was fighting against Israel, and he took counsel with his servants, saying, "In this and that place, let us set up an ambush."
9 And so the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying: "Take care not to pass by that place. For the Syrians are there in ambush."
10 And so the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God had told him, and he prevented it. And he preserved himself, concerning that place, not merely once or twice.
