New Living Translation
2 Kings 6:1-7
1One day the group of prophets came to Elisha and told him, “As you can see, this place where we meet with you is too small.
2Let’s go down to the Jordan River, where there are plenty of logs. There we can build a new place for us to meet.” “All right,” he told them, “go ahead.”
3“Please come with us,” someone suggested. “I will,” he said.
4So he went with them. When they arrived at the Jordan, they began cutting down trees.
5But as one of them was cutting a tree, his ax head fell into the river. “Oh, sir!” he cried. “It was a borrowed ax!”
6“Where did it fall?” the man of God asked. When he showed him the place, Elisha cut a stick and threw it into the water at that spot. Then the ax head floated to the surface.
7“Grab it,” Elisha said. And the man reached out and grabbed it.
