The Floating Axe Head

2 Kings 6:1-7

The guild prophets said to Elisha, "As you can see, the place where we are living in order to be with you is too small for us.

Please allow us to go to the Yarden; each of us will collect a log there, and we'll build a place there for us to live." He answered, "Go ahead."

But one of them said, "Please, won't you come with your servants?" He answered, "All right, I will";

so he went with them. When they arrived at the Yarden, they cut down trees;

but as one was felling a tree trunk, the head of his axe fell in the water. "Oh, no!" he cried. "My master, it was a borrowed one!"

The man of God asked, "Where did it fall?" He showed him the place. Then Elisha cut a stick, threw it in there, and the iron axe-head floated to the surface.

"Lift it out," he said. So he put out his hand and took it.
