<p class="bodytext">When the members of the prophetic guild in Jericho,<n id="1" /> who were standing at a distance,<n id="2" /> saw him do this, they said, &#8220;The spirit that energized Elijah<n id="3" /> rests upon Elisha.&#8221; They went to meet him and bowed down to the ground before him.

The prophet<n id="1" /> asked, &#8220;Where did it drop in?&#8221; When he showed him the spot, Elisha<n id="2" /> cut off a branch, threw it in at that spot, and made the ax head float.
