2 Re 6:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 6:5

But as one was felling a beam
Cutting down a tree, or a branch of it:

the axe head fell into the water:
into the waters of Jordan; or "the iron" F4, the iron part of it, with which the wood was cut; that flew off from the helve into the water:

and he cried, and said, alas, master! for it was borrowed:
it grieved him to lose his axe, because he could do no more work, and the more because it was not his own, but he had borrowed it of his neighbour; and still more, because, as it seems, he was poor, and not able to pay for it, which, being of an honest disposition, gave him distress.

2 Re 6:5 In-Context

3 E uno di essi disse: Deh! piacciati venire co’ tuoi servitori. Ed egli disse: Io andrò.
4 Egli adunque andò con loro; e giunti al Giordano, si misero a tagliar le legna.
5 E avvenne che uno di essi, abbattendo un pezzo di legname, il ferro della sua scure cadde nell’acqua; onde egli gridò e disse: Ahi! signor mio; anche l’avea io in prestanza.
6 E l’uomo di Dio disse: Ove è caduto? Ed egli gli mostrò il luogo. Allora egli tagliò un legno, e lo gittò là, e fece notare il ferro disopra; e disse a colui: Toglilo.
7 Ed egli distese la mano, e lo prese.
