2 Kings 6:2 in context

The verses around it, from 2 Kings 6.

1 Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “Please take note that the place where we meet with you is too small for us.

2 Please let us go to the Jordan, where each of us can get a log so we can build ourselves a place to live there.” “Go,” said Elisha.

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

4 So Elisha went with them, and when they came to the Jordan, they began to cut down some trees.

5 As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axe head fell into the water. “Oh, my master,” he cried out, “it was borrowed!”

6 “Where did it fall?” asked the man of God. And when he showed him the place, the man of God cut a stick, threw it there, and made the iron float.
