4 So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
5 But as one was felling a beam, the ax-head fell into the water; and he cried, and said, Alas, my master! for it was borrowed.
6 The man of God said, Where fell it? He showed him the place. He cut down a stick, and cast it in there, and made the iron to swim.
7 He said, Take it up to you. So he put out his hand, and took it.
8 Now the king of Syria was warring against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
9 The man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that you not pass such a place; for there the Syrians are coming down.
10 The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once nor twice.
