2 Kings 6:1-7

1Now 1the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “Behold now, the place 2before you where we are living is too cramped for us. 2Please let us go to the Jordan, and let us each take from there a beam, and let us construct a place there for ourselves, to live there.” So he said, “Go.” 3Then one of them said, “Please agree and go with your servants.” And he said, “I will go.” 4So he went with them; and when they came to the Jordan, they cut down trees. 5But it happened that as one of them was 3cutting down a beam, 4the axe head fell into the water; and he cried out and said, “Oh, my master! It was borrowed!” 6Then the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” And when he showed him the place, 5he cut off a stick and threw it in there, and made the iron float. 7Then he said, “Pick it up for yourself.” So he reached out his hand and took it.
