2 Let’s go to the Jordan River. There every man can get a pole. And let’s build a place there to live.”Elisha said, “Go.”
3 One of them said, “Please go with us.”Elisha said, “I will go.”
4 So he went with them. When they arrived at the Jordan, they cut down some trees.
5 As one man was cutting down a tree, the head of his ax fell into the water. He yelled, “Oh, my master! I borrowed that ax!”
6 Elisha asked, “Where did it fall?” The man showed Elisha the place. Then Elisha cut down a stick and threw it into the water. It made the iron head float.
7 Elisha said, “Pick up the axhead.” Then the man reached out and took it.
