12 2 Ki 6.1-7 Elisha - ax head floated

2 Kings 6:1-7 (ESV)

^1  Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See, the place where we dwell under your charge is too small for us.

^2  Let us go to the Jordan and each of us get there a log, and let us make a place for us to dwell there.” And he answered, “Go.”

^3  Then one of them said, “Be pleased to go with your servants.” And he answered, “I will go.”

^4  So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down trees.

^5  But as one was felling a log, his axe head fell into the water, and he cried out, “Alas, my master! It was borrowed.”

^6  Then the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” When he showed him the place, he cut off a stick and threw it in there and made the iron float.

^7  And he said, “Take it up.” So he reached out his hand and took it.
