The context of 2 Kings 6 is that Elisha was at that time the main prophet of the Lord in the northern kingdom of Israel. Perhaps you remember that just before Elijah was taken up to heaven Elisha had asked for a double portion of the spirit of Elijah. The story then unfolded as we saw Elisha walking in the spirit and power of Elijah.

In 2 Kings 6, there are two stories of great importance for our study. These accounts demonstrate the power of God on Elisha, but they also give us great spiritual application for our own lives today as well.

Both stories have to do with potentially terrible tragedies, but each of these is answered by the hand of God moving through Elisha. God demonstrates that He is mighty to save. But there's much more to it than that. Yes, God is mighty to save, but he also gives great spiritual insight so that we can grow in the learning of it.

The first story is centered on one of the schools of the prophets that Elijah had established near the Jordan River. From verse one we read that the place where they were living was too small for them and they wanted to expand the school of the prophets.

First, we should appreciate the fact that this was a spiritually dark time in Israel. They had gone from one bad king to another until finally they got to the worst king of all, Ahab, who had married that wicked woman Jezebel. Ahab's sons who reigned after him were not much better.

So, in a spiritually dark time, the sons of the prophets needed to expand their school. That right there should be encouraging for us. We are certainly in a spiritually dark time today and it’s getting darker, but the Spirit of God is still moving on those whose hearts are turned toward Him.

The sons of the prophets invited Elisha to go with them to the Jordan River where they hoped to cut down some trees and carve out some beams for the building of a new and larger school. While they were hard at work, one of their axe heads flew off the handle and was lost in the Jordan River.
