1Now 1the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 saidH559 to ElishaH477, “BeholdH2009 nowH4994, the placeH4725 2beforeH6440 you whereH834H8033 we are livingH3427 is tooH4480 crampedH6862 for us. 2PleaseH4994 let us goH1980 to the JordanH3383, and let us eachH376 takeH3947 from thereH8033 a beamH6982, and let us constructH6213 a placeH4725 thereH8033 for ourselves, to liveH3427 thereH8033.” So he saidH559, “GoH1980.” 3Then oneH259 of them saidH559, “PleaseH4994 agreeH2974 and goH1980 with your servantsH5650.” And he saidH559, “I will goH1980.” 4So he wentH1980 with them; and when they cameH935 to the JordanH3383, they cutH1504 downH1504 treesH6086. 5But it happenedH1961 that as oneH259 of them was 3cuttingH5307 downH5307 a beamH6982, 4the axeH1270 headH1270 fellH5307 into the waterH4325; and he criedH6817 outH6817 and saidH559, “OhH162, my masterH113! It was borrowedH7592!” 6Then the manH376 of GodH430 saidH559, “WhereH575 did it fallH5307?” And when he showedH7200 him the placeH4725, 5he cutH7094 offH7094 a stickH6086 and threwH7993 it in thereH8033, and made the ironH1270 floatH6687. 7Then he saidH559, “PickH7311 it upH7311 for yourself.” So he reachedH7971 outH7971 his handH3027 and tookH3947 it.
