2 Kings 6:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ As one of them was cutting down a tree, suddenly his iron ax head fell in the water. “What shall I do, sir?” he exclaimed to Elisha. “It was a borrowed ax!”

⁶ “Where did it fall?” Elisha asked.

The man showed him the place, and Elisha cut off a stick, threw it in the water, and made the ax head float. ⁷ “Take it out,” he ordered, and the man reached down and picked it up.
