Contextual Overview
1 One day the prophets said to Elisha, "The place where we meet with you is too small. 2 Why don't we build a new meeting place near the Jordan River? Each of us could get some wood, then we could build it." "That's a good idea," Elisha replied,"get started." 3 "Aren't you going with us?" one of the prophets asked. "Yes, I'll go," Elisha answered, 4 and he left with them. They went to the Jordan River and began chopping down trees. 5 While one of the prophets was working, his ax head fell off and dropped into the water. "Oh!" he shouted. "Sir, I borrowed this ax." 6 "Where did it fall in?" Elisha asked. The prophet pointed to the place, and Elisha cut a stick and threw it into the water at that spot. The ax head floated to the top of the water. 7 "Now get it," Elisha told him. And the prophet reached in and grabbed it.
