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

¹ The group of prophets Elisha was in charge of complained to him: The place where we live is too small! ² Allow us to go to the Jordan and cut down some trees. We can build a place to live. Elisha answered: Go. ³ One of them urged him to go with them and he agreed. ⁴ They set out together and when they arrived at the Jordan they cut down trees. ⁵ One of them was cutting down a tree when suddenly his ax head fell in the water. It was a borrowed ax, he exclaimed to Elisha. What will I do?

⁶ Elisha said: Where did it fall? The man showed him the place. Elisha cut off a stick. Then he threw it in the water and made the ax head float. ⁷ Pick it up, he ordered. The man put his hand in the water and picked it up.
