2 Kings 6:1-7 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
1
One 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.
2
Let'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.
4
When they arrived at the Jordan, they began cutting down trees.
5
But as one of them was chopping, his ax head fell into the river. "Ah, my lord!" 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. Then the ax head rose to the surface and floated.
7
"Grab it," Elisha said to him. And the man reached out and grabbed it.
