Elisha and the Floating Ax

Under the prophet Elisha, the Schools of the Prophets were restored to their powerful influence in Israel. They become so popular that they needed more space. The students offered to help build and a miracle confirmed God’s blessing. Around the same time, the blind ambition of the king of Syria led him to pursue Elisha who was telling the king of Israel all his plans. Elisha then single-handedly captured the whole army by asking God, fittingly, to blind them. At the same time, his new servant got his eyes opened to see an amazing sight.
