But as one was felling a log, his axe head fell into the water; and he cried out, "Alas, my master! It was borrowed."

13
And he said, "Go and see where he is, that I may send and seize him." It was told him, "Behold, he is in Dothan."

So he sent there horses and chariots and a great army; and they came by night, and surrounded the city.
