# So the man of God said

"So Elisha, the man of God, asked"

# He then cut off a stick, threw it in the water, and made the iron float

God uses Elisha to perform a miracle. Elisha caused an iron ax head to float. He fooled the whole army of Aram that was sent to arrest him. When the king of Aram besieged the capital of Israel, the people became so hungry they started eating their children. Elisha told the king of Israel that there would be plenty of food the next day, but the king's counselor said it was impossible.
