3 One of them requested, “Please agree to accompany your servants.” He replied, “Yes, I will come.”
4 So he went with them, and when they arrived at the Jordan they began to cut down trees.
5 While one of them was felling a tree trunk, the iron ax blade slipped into the water. He cried out, “Oh, no, master! It was borrowed!”
6 “Where did it fall?” asked the man of God. When he pointed out the spot, Elisha cut off a stick, threw it into the water, and brought the iron to the surface.
7 He said, “Pick it up.” And the man stretched out his hand and grasped it.
8 When the king of Aram was waging war on Israel, he would make plans with his servants: “I will bivouac at such and such a place.”
9 But the man of God would send word to the king of Israel, “Be careful! Do not pass by this place, for Aram will attack there.”
