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

¹ And sons of the prophet say unto Elisha, 'Lo, we pray thee, the place where we are dwelling before thee is too strait for us; ² let us go, we pray thee, unto the Jordan, and we take thence each one beam, and we make for ourselves there a place to dwell there;' and he saith, 'Go.' ³ And the one saith, 'Be pleased, I pray thee, and go with thy servants;' and he saith, 'I -- I go.' ⁴ And he goeth with them, and they come in to the Jordan, and cut down the trees, ⁵ and it cometh to pass, the one is felling the beam, and the iron hath fallen into the water, and he crieth and saith, 'Alas! my lord, and it asked!'

⁶ And the man of God saith, 'Whither hath it fallen?' and he sheweth him the place, and he cutteth a stick, and casteth thither, and causeth the iron to swim, ⁷ and saith, 'Raise to thee;' and he putteth forth his hand and taketh it.
