1. And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with you is too small for us.
2. Let us go, we pray you, unto the Jordan, and take there every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go.
3. And one said, Be content, I pray you, and go with your servants. And he answered, I will go.
4. So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
5. But as one was cutting down a tree, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
