1 # And Elijah <0452> the Tishbite <08664>, who was of the inhabitants <08453> of Gilead <01568>, said <0559> (8799) unto Ahab <0256>, As the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478> liveth <02416>, before <06440> whom I stand <05975> (8804), there shall not be dew <02919> nor rain <04306> these years <08141>, but according <06310> to my word <01697>.
2 And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto him, saying <0559> (8800),
3 Get <03212> (8798) thee hence, and turn <06437> (8804) thee eastward <06924>, and hide <05641> (8738) thyself by the brook <05158> Cherith <03747>, that is before <06440> Jordan <03383>.
4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink <08354> (8799) of the brook <05158>; and I have commanded <06680> (8765) the ravens <06158> to feed <03557> (8771) thee there.
5 So he went <03212> (8799) and did <06213> (8799) according unto the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> : for he went <03212> (8799) and dwelt <03427> (8799) by the brook <05158> Cherith <03747>, that is before <06440> Jordan <03383>.
6 And the ravens <06158> brought <0935> (8688) him bread <03899> and flesh <01320> in the morning <01242> , and bread <03899> and flesh <01320> in the evening <06153>; and he drank <08354> (8799) of the brook <05158>.
7 And it came to pass after <07093> a while <03117>, that the brook <05158> dried up <03001> (8799), because there had been no rain <01653> in the land <0776>.
8 # And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came unto him, saying <0559> (8800),
9 Arise <06965> (8798), get <03212> (8798) thee to Zarephath <06886>, which belongeth to Zidon <06721> , and dwell <03427> (8804) there: behold, I have commanded <06680> (8765) a widow <0490> woman <0802> there to sustain <03557> (8771) thee.
10 So he arose <06965> (8799) and went <03212> (8799) to Zarephath <06886>. And when he came <0935> (8799) to the gate <06607> of the city <05892>, behold, the widow <0490> woman <0802> was there gathering <07197> (8781) of sticks <06086>: and he called <07121> (8799) to her, and said <0559> (8799), Fetch <03947> (8798) me, I pray thee, a little <04592> water <04325> in a vessel <03627>, that I may drink <08354> (8799).
11 And as she was going <03212> (8799) to fetch <03947> (8800) it, he called <07121> (8799) to her, and said <0559> (8799), Bring <03947> (8798) me, I pray thee, a morsel <06595> of bread <03899> in thine hand <03027> .
12 And she said <0559> (8799), As the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> liveth <02416>, I have <03426> not a cake <04580>, but an handful <04393> <03709> of meal <07058> in a barrel <03537>, and a little <04592> oil <08081> in a cruse <06835>: and, behold, I am gathering <07197> (8781) two <08147> sticks <06086>, that I may go in <0935> (8804) and dress <06213> (8804) it for me and my son <01121>, that we may eat <0398> (8804) it, and die <04191> (8804).
13 And Elijah <0452> said <0559> (8799) unto her, Fear <03372> (8799) not; go <0935> (8798) and do <06213> (8798) as thou hast said <01697>: but make <06213> (8798) me thereof <08033> a little <06996> cake <05692> first <07223>, and bring <03318> (8689) it unto me, and after <0314> make <06213> (8799) for thee and for thy son <01121>.
14 For thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, The barrel <03537> of meal <07058> shall not waste <03615> (8799), neither shall the cruse <06835> of oil <08081> fail <02637> (8799), until the day <03117> that the LORD <03068> sendeth <05414> (8800) rain <01653> upon <06440> the earth <0127> .
15 And she went <03212> (8799) and did <06213> (8799) according to the saying <01697> of Elijah <0452> : and she, and he, and her house <01004>, did eat <0398> (8799) many days <03117>.
16 And the barrel <03537> of meal <07058> wasted <03615> (8804) not, neither did the cruse <06835> of oil <08081> fail <02638>, according to the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>, which he spake <01696> (8765) by <03027> Elijah <0452>.
17 # And it came to pass after <0310> these things <01697>, that the son <01121> of the woman <0802>, the mistress <01172> of the house <01004>, fell sick <02470> (8804); and his sickness <02483> was so <03966> sore <02389>, that there was no breath <05397> left <03498> (8738) in him.
18 And she said <0559> (8799) unto Elijah <0452>, What have I to do with thee, O thou man <0376> of God <0430>? art thou come <0935> (8804) unto me to call <02142> <00> my sin <05771> to remembrance <02142> (8687), and to slay <04191> (8687) my son <01121>?
19 And he said <0559> (8799) unto her, Give <05414> (8798) me thy son <01121>. And he took <03947> (8799) him out of her bosom <02436>, and carried him up <05927> (8686) into a loft <05944>, where he abode <03427> (8802) , and laid <07901> (8686) him upon his own bed <04296>.
20 And he cried <07121> (8799) unto the LORD <03068>, and said <0559> (8799), O LORD <03068> my God <0430>, hast thou also brought evil <07489> (8689) upon the widow <0490> with whom I sojourn <01481> (8711), by slaying <04191> (8687) her son <01121>?
21 And he stretched <04058> (8709) himself upon the child <03206> three <07969> times <06471>, and cried <07121> (8799) unto the LORD <03068>, and said <0559> (8799), O LORD <03068> my God <0430>, I pray thee, let this child's <03206> soul <05315> come <07725> <00> into him <07130> again <07725> (8799).
22 And the LORD <03068> heard <08085> (8799) the voice <06963> of Elijah <0452>; and the soul <05315> of the child <03206> came <07725> <00> into him <07130> again <07725> (8799), and he revived <02421> (8799) .
23 And Elijah <0452> took <03947> (8799) the child <03206>, and brought him down <03381> (8686) out of the chamber <05944> into the house <01004>, and delivered <05414> (8799) him unto his mother <0517>: and Elijah <0452> said <0559> (8799), See <07200> (8798), thy son <01121> liveth <02416>.
24 And the woman <0802> said <0559> (8799) to Elijah <0452>, Now by this <02088> I know <03045> (8804) that thou art a man <0376> of God <0430>, and that the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> in thy mouth <06310> is truth <0571>.
