The Floating Axe Head

2 Kings 6:1-7

And sons of the prophet say unto Elisha, `Lo, we pray thee, the place where we are dwelling before thee is too strait for us;

let us go, we pray thee, unto the Jordan, and we take thence each one beam, and we make for ourselves there a place to dwell there;' and he saith, `Go.'

And the one saith, `Be pleased, I pray thee, and go with thy servants;' and he saith, `I--I go.'

And he goeth with them, and they come in to the Jordan, and cut down the trees,

and it cometh to pass, the one is felling the beam, and the iron hath fallen into the water, and he crieth and saith, `Alas! my lord, and it asked!'

And the man of God saith, `Whither hath it fallen?' and he sheweth him the place, and he cutteth a stick, and casteth thither, and causeth the iron to swim,

and saith, `Raise to thee;' and he putteth forth his hand and taketh it.
