2 Kings 6:1

Verse 1 of 33. The 6th of 25 chapters in 2 Kings, in History.

1The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we live and meet with you is too small for us.

2Please let us go to the Jordan, and each man take a beam from there, and let’s make us a place there, where we may live.” He answered, “Go!”

3One said, “Please be pleased to go with your servants.” He answered, “I will go.”

4So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.

5But as one was cutting down a tree, the ax head fell into the water. Then he cried out and said, “Alas, my master! For it was borrowed.”
