2 Kings 6:1-7

New Century Version NCV

1 The groups of prophets said to Elisha, "The place where we meet with you is too small for us.

2 Let's go to the Jordan River. There everyone can get a log, and let's build a place there to live." Elisha said, "Go."

3 One of them said, "Please go with us." Elisha answered, "I will go,"

4 so he went with them. When they arrived at the Jordan, they cut down some trees.

5 As one man was cutting down a tree, the head of his ax fell into the water. He yelled, "Oh, my master! I borrowed that ax!"

6 Elisha asked, "Where did it fall?" The man showed him the place. Then Elisha cut down a stick and threw it into the water, and it made the iron head float.

7 Elisha said, "Pick up the axhead." Then the man reached out and took it.

2 Let us go to the Jordan, where each of us can get a pole; and let us build a place there for us to meet.” And he said, “Go.”
