2 Kings 6:1-7 - Elisha Recovers A Lost Axe Head

¹ The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “Please notice that the place where we live under your supervision is too small for us. ² Please let us go to the Jordan where we can each get a log and can build ourselves a place to live there.”

“Go,” he said. ³ Then one said, “Please come with your servants.”

“I’ll come,” he answered. ⁴ So he went with them, and when they came to the Jordan, they cut down trees. ⁵ As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron ax head fell into the water, and he cried out, “Oh, my master, it was borrowed!”

⁶ Then the man of God asked, “Where did it fall?”

When he showed him the place, the man of God cut a stick, threw it there, and made the iron float. ⁷ Then he said, “Pick it up.” So he reached out and took it.
