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.
