6 And the man of God said, Where did it go in? and when he saw the place where it had gone into the water, cutting a stick, he put it into the water, and the iron came up to the top of the water.
7 Then he said, Take it up. So he put out his hand and took it.

10 So the king of Israel sent to the place where the man of God had said there was danger, and kept clear of it more than once.
