The Floating Axe Head

2 Kings 6:1-7

The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we dwell before you is too small for us.

Please let us go to the Jordan, and every man take a beam from there, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell.” He answered, “Go!”

One said, “Please be pleased to go with your servants.” He answered, “I will go.”

So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.

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

The man of God asked, “Where did it fall?” He showed him the place. He cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float.

He said, “Take it.” So he put out his hand and took it.
