2 Kings 6:1-7

1Now 1the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 saidH559 to ElishaH477, “BeholdH2009 nowH4994, the placeH4725 beforeH6440 you whereH834H8033 we are livingH3427 is tooH4480 limitedH6862 for us. 2PleaseH4994 let us goH1980 to the JordanH3383 and eachH376 of us takeH3947 from thereH8033 a beamH6982, and let us makeH6213 a placeH4725 thereH8033 for ourselves whereH8033 we may liveH3427.” So he saidH559, “GoH1980.” 3Then oneH259 saidH559, “PleaseH4994 be willingH2974 to goH1980 with your servantsH5650.” And he 2answeredH559, “I shall goH1980.” 4So he wentH1980 with them; and when they cameH935 to the JordanH3383, they cutH1504 downH1504 treesH6086. 5But as oneH259 was fellingH5307 a beamH6982, 3the axeH1270 headH1270 fellH5307 into the waterH4325; and he criedH6817 out and saidH559, “AlasH162, my masterH113! For it was borrowedH7592.” 6Then the manH376 of GodH430 saidH559, “WhereH575 did it fallH5307?” And when he showedH7200 him the placeH4725, 4he cutH7094 offH7094 a stickH6086 and threwH7993 it in thereH8033, and made the ironH1270 floatH6687. 7He saidH559, “TakeH7311 it up for yourself.” So he putH7971 out his handH3027 and tookH3947 it.
