2 Kings 6:1-7
1And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 saidH559 toH6440 ElishaH477, Behold now, the placeH4725 where we dwellH3427 with thee is too smallH6862 for us. 2Let us goH3212, we pray thee, to JordanH3383, and takeH3947 from there every manH376 aH259 beamH6982, and let us makeH6213 us a placeH4725 there, where we may dwellH3427. And he answeredH559, GoH3212 ye. 3And oneH259 saidH559, Be contentH2974, I pray thee, and goH3212 with thy servantsH5650. And he answeredH559, I will goH3212. 4So he wentH3212 with them. And when they cameH935 to JordanH3383, they cut downH1504 woodH6086. 5But as oneH259 was fellingH5307 a beamH6982, the axe headH1270 fellH5307 into the waterH4325: and he criedH6817, and saidH559, AlasH162, masterH113! for it was borrowedH7592.1 6And the manH376 of GodH430 saidH559, WhereH575 fellH5307 it? And he showedH7200 him the placeH4725. And he cut downH7094 a stickH6086, and castH7993 it in there; and made the axe headH1270 floatH6687. 7Therefore saidH559 he, Take it upH7311 to thee. And he put outH7971 his handH3027, and tookH3947 it.
