1 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha’, Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too narrow for us.
2 Let us go, we pray thee, as far as the Jordan, and take thence every man one beam, and let us prepare for us there a place to dwell therein. And he said, Go.
3 And one said, Give thy assent, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he said, I will indeed go.
4 So he went with them; and they came to the Jordan, and they cut down trees.
5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe-head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, my Lord! it was also borrowed.
6 And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, and he caused the iron to swim.
7 And then said he, Lift it up to thee. And he stretched out his hand, and took it.
