So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down the wood.
5
But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water, and he cried and said, Alas, master! It was borrowed.
6
And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he showed him the place. Then he cut down a stick and cast it in there and caused the iron to swim.
7
And he said unto him, Take it. And he put out his hand and took it.
8
Then the king of Syria warred against Israel and took counsel with his slaves, saying, In such and such a place
shall be my camp.
9
And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware to not pass through such
and such a place, for the Syrians are going there.
10
Then the king of Israel sent to the place, which the man of God told him and warned him of and kept himself from there, not once nor twice.
11

is for the king of Israel?
12
Then one of his slaves said, None, my lord, O king, but Elisha, the prophet that
is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
13
And he said, Go and spy where he
is, that I may send and take him. And it was told him, saying, Behold,
he is in Dothan.
14
So he sent horsemen and chariots there and a great host, who came by night and compassed the city about.
