2 Kings 6:1-7

21st Century King James Version

6 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, “Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too confining for us.

² Let us go, we pray thee, unto the Jordan, and take from thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there where we may dwell.” And he answered, “Go ye.”

³ And one said, “Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants.” And he answered, “I will go.”

⁴ So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.

⁵ But as one was felling a beam, the ax head fell into the water; and he cried and said, “Alas, master! For it was borrowed!”

⁶ And the man of God said, “Where fell it?” And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick and cast it in thither, and the iron did swim.

⁷ Therefore said he, “Take it up to thee.” And he put out his hand and took it.
