2 Let us go, we pray thee, to the Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he said, Go.
3 And one said, Consent, I pray thee, to go with thy servants. And he said, I will go.
4 And he went with them. And they came to the Jordan and cut down the trees.
5 And it came to pass as one was felling a beam, that the iron fell into the water; and he cried and said, Alas, master, and it was borrowed!
6 And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, and made the iron to swim.
7 And he said, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand and took it.
8 And the king of Syria warred against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
