2 Kings 6:5 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Kings 6:5

3 Then one said, ^a“Please consent to go with your servants.” And he answered, “I will go.”

4 So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down trees.

5 But as one was cutting down a tree, the iron ax head fell into the water; and he cried out and said, “Alas, master! For it was ^aborrowed.”

6 So the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” And he showed him the place. So ^ahe cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float.

7 Therefore he said, “Pick it up for yourself.” So he reached out his hand and took it.

The Blinded Syrians Captured

8 Now the ^aking of Syria was making war against Israel; and he consulted with his servants, saying, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”

9 And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, “Beware that you do not pass this place, for the Syrians are coming down there.”
