1 Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “Behold now, the place where we are living in your presence is too cramped for us.
2 So please, let’s go to the Jordan and pick from there each one a beam, and make ourselves a place there to live.” “Go,” he answered.
3 Then one of them said, “Will you please come with your servants?” “I will go,” he answered.
4 So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they began to cut down trees.
5 But as one of them was cutting down a beam, the axe-head fell into the water; and he cried, and said, “Ah, my master! It was borrowed.”
6 Then the man of God asked, “Where did it fall?” When he showed him the place, he cut off a stick and threw it there, and made the ax head float.
7 Then he said, “Pick it up for yourself.” So he reached out his hand and took it.
