1KI-17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite, [who was] of the inhabitants
of Gilead, said unto Ahab, [As] the LORD God of Israel liveth,
before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years,
but according to my word.
1KI-17:2 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
1KI-17:3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide
thyself by the brook Cherith, that [is] before Jordan.
1KI-17:4 And it shall be, [that] thou shalt drink of the brook;
and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
1KI-17:5 So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD:
for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that [is] before
Jordan.
1KI-17:6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the
morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the
brook.
1KI-17:7 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried
up, because there had been no rain in the land.
1KI-17:8 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
1KI-17:9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which [belongeth] to
Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman
there to sustain thee.
1KI-17:10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to
the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman [was] there
gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I
pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
1KI-17:11 And as she was going to fetch [it], he called to her,
and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
1KI-17:12 And she said, [As] the LORD thy God liveth, I have not
a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in
a cruse: and, behold, I [am] gathering two sticks, that I may go
in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
1KI-17:13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go [and] do as
thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and
bring [it] unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
1KI-17:14 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of
meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until
the day [that] the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.
1KI-17:15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah:
and she, and he, and her house, did eat [many] days.
1KI-17:16 [And] the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the
cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he
spake by Elijah.
1KI-17:17 And it came to pass after these things, [that] the son
of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his
sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.
1KI-17:18 And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee,
O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to
remembrance, and to slay my son?
1KI-17:19 And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him
out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode,
and laid him upon his own bed.
1KI-17:20 And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God,
hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn,
by slaying her son?
1KI-17:21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times,
and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee,
let this child's soul come into him again.
1KI-17:22 And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul
of the child came into him again, and he revived.
1KI-17:23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of
the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother:
and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.
1KI-17:24 And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that
thou [art] a man of God, [and] that the word of the LORD in thy
mouth [is] truth.
