5 Then it happened that, while someone was cutting timber, the iron of the ax fell into the water. And he cried out and said: 'Alas, alas, alas, my lord! For this thing was borrowed.'
6 Then the man of God said, 'Where did it fall?' And he indicated to him the place. Then he cut off a piece of wood, and he threw it in. And the iron floated up.
7 And he said, 'Take it.' And he extended his hand, and took it.
8 Now the king of Syria was fighting against Israel, and he took counsel with his servants, saying, 'In this and that place, let us set up an ambush.'
9 And so the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying: 'Take care not to pass by that place. For the Syrians are there in ambush.'
