| 2nd-Kings 6:2 | Let us go as far as the Jordan and take out of the wood every man a piece of timber, that we may build us there a place to dwell in.

| 2nd-Kings 6:6 | And the man of God said: Where did it fall? and he shewed him the place.

He cut down a stick, and cast it in there, and made the iron to swim. | And the man of God said, Where did it go in? and when he saw the place where it had gone into the water, cutting a stick, he put it into the water, and the iron came up to the top of the water. |
