1 The company of the prophets said to Elisha, ‘Look, the place where we meet with you is too small for us.
2 Let us go to the Jordan, where each of us can get a pole; and let us build a place there for us to meet.’And he said, ‘Go.’
3 Then one of them said, ‘Won’t you please come with your servants?’‘I will,’ Elisha replied.
4 And he went with them.They went to the Jordan and began to cut down trees.
5 As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axe-head fell into the water. ‘Oh no, my lord!’ he cried out. ‘It was borrowed!’
6 The man of God asked, ‘Where did it fall?’ When he showed him the place, Elisha cut a stick and threw it there, and made the iron float.
