Elisha Makes an Ax Head Float

6 Some of the prophets^[a] said to Elisha, “Look, the place where we meet with you^[b] is too cramped^[c] for us. ² Let’s go to the Jordan. Each of us will get a log from there, and we will build a meeting place for ourselves there.” He said, “Go.” ³ One of them said, “Please come along with your servants.” He replied, “All right, I’ll come.” ⁴ So he went with them. When they arrived at the Jordan, they started cutting down trees. ⁵ As one of them was felling a tree, the ax head^[d] dropped into the water. He shouted, “Oh no,^[e] my master! It was borrowed!” ⁶ The prophet^[f] asked, “Where did it drop in?” When he showed him the spot, Elisha^[g] cut off a branch, threw it in at that spot, and made the ax head float. ⁷ He said, “Lift it out.” So he reached out his hand and grabbed it.
