1 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha,See, we pray thee, the place wherein we sit before thee, is too strait for us.2 Let us go, we pray thee, as far as the Jordan, and fetch from thence every man a single beam, and let us make us a place wherein we may sit. And he saidGo ye.3 Then said oneBe content, we pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he saidI myself, will go.4 So he went with them,and, when they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.5 And it came to pass, as one was felling a branch, that, the axe-head, fell into the water, so he made outcry and saidAlas! my lord, for, it, was borrowed!6 And the man of God saidWhere fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a piece of wood and cast it in thither, and the iron did swim.7 And he saidTake it up to thee. So he put forth his hand, and took it.
