Contextual Overview
1And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, "Behold now, the place before you where we are living is too limited for us. 2Please let us go to the Jordan and each of us take from there a beam, and let us make a place there for ourselves where we may live." So he said, "Go." 3Then one said, "Please be willing to go with your servants." And he answered, "I shall go." 4So he went with them; and they came to the Jordan and cut down trees. 5Now it happened that as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water; and he cried out and said, "Alas, my master! For it was borrowed." 6Then the man of God said, "Where did it fall?" And when he showed him the place, he cut off a stick and threw it in there and made the iron float. 7And he said, "Take it up for yourself." So he sent forth his hand and took 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.
