2 Kings 6:1-6 (NASB)

1 2 Kings 6:1 Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “Behold now, the place before you where we are living is too limited for us. 2 2 Kings 6:2 “Please let us go to the Jordan and each of us take from there a beam, and let us make a place there for ourselves where we may live.” So he said, “Go.” 3 2 Kings 6:3 Then one said, “Please be willing to go with your servants.” And he answered, “I shall go.” 4 2 Kings 6:4 So he went with them; and when they came to the Jordan, they cut down trees. 5 2 Kings 6:5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water; and he cried out and said, “Alas, my master! For it was borrowed.” 6 2 Kings 6:6 Then the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” And when he showed him the place, he cut off a stick and threw it in there, and made the iron float.
