1. One day the group of prophets came to Elisha and told him, “As you can see, this place where we meet with you is too small.
2. Let’s go down to the Jordan River, where there are plenty of logs. There we can build a new place for us to meet.”“All right,” he told them, “go ahead.”
3. “Please come with us,” someone suggested.“I will,” he said.
4. So he went with them.When they arrived at the Jordan, they began cutting down trees.
5. But as one of them was cutting a tree, his ax head fell into the river. “Oh, sir!” he cried. “It was a borrowed ax!”
