But 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.”
The man of God asked, “Where did it fall?”
He showed him the place.
He cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float.
He said, “Take it.”
So he put out his hand and took it.
Now the king of Syria was at war against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”
