And he answered, Goe. 3 And one said, Vouchsafe, I pray thee, to go with thy seruants, and he answered, I will goe. 4 So he went with them, & when they came to Iorden, they cut downe wood. 5 And as one was felling of a tree, the yron fell into the water: then he cryed, and said, Alas master, it was but borowed. 6 And the man of God saide, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. Then he cut downe a piece of wood, and cast in thither, and he caused the yron to swimme. 7 Then he saide, Take it vp to thee. And he stretched out his hand, and tooke it.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And one said, be content, I pray thee, and with thy servants,.... Or be pleased to go with us; he begged it as a favour, that, being awed by his presence, they might preserve peace and order, and have his advice as to the spot of ground to erect their edifice on, and might be protected by him from harm and mischief by men or wild beasts:
and he answered, I will go; he consented to it, knowing perhaps before hand that he should have an opportunity of working a miracle there, as he did.
