2 Kings 6:5

³ Then one of them said, “Please come with your servants.” “I will come,” he replied.

⁴ So Elisha went with them, and when they came to the Jordan, they began to cut down some trees.

As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axe head fell into the water. “Oh, my master,” he cried out, “it was borrowed!”

⁶ “Where did it fall?” asked the man of God. And when he showed him the place, the man of God cut a stick, threw it there, and made the iron float.

⁷ “Lift it out,” he said, and the man reached out his hand and took it.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
