1. One day the prophets said to Elisha, “The place where we meet with you is too small.
2. Why don't we build a new meeting place near the River Jordan? Each of us could get some wood, then we could build it.”“That's a good idea,” Elisha replied, “get started.”
3. “Aren't you going with us?” one of the prophets asked.“Yes, I'll go,” Elisha answered,
4. and he left with them.They went to the River Jordan and began chopping down trees.
5. While one of the prophets was working, his axe head fell off and dropped into the water. “Oh!” he shouted. “Sir, I borrowed this axe.”
6. “Where did it fall in?” Elisha asked. The prophet pointed to the place, and Elisha cut a stick and threw it into the water at that spot. The axe head floated to the top of the water.
