The Axe Head Recovered
1
Now 1the 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, 2he 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.
