Iron: First Recorded Use of Ax

“Where did it fall?” asked the man of God. And when he showed him the place, the man of God cut a stick, threw it there, and made the iron float.

Now Zedekiah son of Chenaanah had made for himself iron horns and declared, “This is what the LORD says: ‘With these you shall gore the Arameans until they are finished off.’”

If the axe is dull and the blade unsharpened, more strength must be exerted, but skill produces success.

He will clear the forest thickets with an axe, and Lebanon will fall before the Mighty One.
