4. He went with them, and they went to the Jordan, and they cut down the trees.

5. It happened as the one was felling the log, that the iron ax fell into the water. He called out and said, “Oh, no! My master, it was borrowed!”

6. Then the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” So he showed him the place, and then he cut off a stick and threw it there and made the iron ax float.

7. Then he said, “Pick it up for yourself,” so he stretched out his hand and took it.

8. The king of Aram was fighting with Israel, so he consulted with his officers, saying, “My camp is at such and such a place.”

9. Then the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, “Take care while crossing over to this place, because the Arameans are descending there.”

10. So the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God said to him and warned him, so he was on guard there continually.

11. Then the heart of the king of Aram was stormy because of this matter, so he called his servants and said to them, “Can you not tell me who among us sides with the king of Israel?”
