DouayRheims(i)
1 And the sons of the prophets said to Eliseus: Behold, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
2 Let us go as far as the Jordan, and take out of the wood every man a piece of timber, that we may build us there a place to dwell in. And he said: Go.
3 And one of them said: But come thou also with thy servants. He answered: I will come.
4 So he went with them. And when they were come to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
5 And it happened, as one was felling some timber, that the head of the ax fell into the water: and he cried out, and said: Alas, alas, alas, my lord, for this same was borrowed.
6 And the man of God said: Where did it fall? and he shewed him the place: Then he cut off a piece of wood, and cast it in thither: and the iron swam.
7 And he said: Take it up. And he put out his hand, and took it.
