2 Kings 6:1-7

1One day, the group of prophets said to Elisha, ‘The place where we meet with you is too small for us.

2We must go to the Jordan River to cut down some trees. Each one of us can bring back some wood to build a new place for us to meet in.’ Elisha agreed and he told them to go.

3One of the prophets said, ‘Please come with us, sir.’ Elisha replied, ‘I will come with you.’

4So he went with them. They arrived at the Jordan River. They started to cut down some trees.

5While one of them was cutting down a tree, his iron axe fell into the water. He shouted, ‘Oh! My master! The axe did not belong to me!’

6Elisha asked him, ‘Where did it fall in the water?’ He showed Elisha the place. Then Elisha cut a branch from a tree. He threw it in the water at that place. It caused the iron axe to come to the top of the water.

7Elisha told the prophet, ‘Lift it out of the water.’ So the man took hold of it with his hand.
