1. Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “Look, the place where we are living with you is too small for us.

2. Let us go to the Jordan and take from there one beam per man, and let us make for ourselves a place to live there.”And Elisha said, “Go.”

3. Then one of them said, “Please come with your servants.”And he said, “I will come.”

4. So he went with them.And they came to the Jordan and cut down trees.

5. But as one was cutting down a tree, the axe head fell into the water. He cried, “Ah, master! It was borrowed.”
