1 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with you is too small for us.
2 Let us go, we pray you, unto the Jordan, and take there every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go.
3 And one said, Be content, I pray you, and go with your servants. And he answered, I will go.
4 So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
5 But as one was cutting down a tree, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
