And ElijahH452 the Tishbite,H8664 who was of the inhabitantsH8453 of Gilead,H1568 saidH559 to Ahab,H256 As the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 lives,H2416 beforeH6440 whomH834 I stand,H5975 there shall not be dewH2919 nor rainH4306 theseH428 years,H8141 but accordingH6310 to my word.H1697
2
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to him, saying,H559
3
GetH3212 you hence,H2088 and turnH6437 you eastward,H6924 and hideH5641 yourself by the brookH5158 Cherith,H3747 that is beforeH5921 H6440 Jordan.H3383
4
And it shall be, that you shall drinkH8354 of the brook;H5158 and I have commandedH6680 the ravensH6158 to feedH3557 you there.H8033
5
So he wentH3212 and didH6213 according to the wordH1697 of the LORD:H3068 for he wentH3212 and dwelledH3427 by the brookH5158 Cherith,H3747 that is beforeH5921 H6440 Jordan.H3383
6
And the ravensH6158 broughtH935 him breadH3899 and fleshH1320 in the morning,H1242 and breadH3899 and fleshH1320 in the evening;H6153 and he drank of the brook.H5158
7
And it cameH1961 to pass afterH7093 a while,H3117 that the brookH5158 driedH3001 up, becauseH3588 there hadH1961 beenH1961 noH3808 rainH1653 in the land.H776
8
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to him, saying,H559
9
Arise,H6965 getH3212 you to Zarephath,H6886 whichH834 belongs to Zidon,H6721 and dwellH3427 there:H8033 behold,H2009 I have commandedH6680 a widowH490 womanH802 thereH8033 to sustainH3557 you.
10
So he aroseH6965 and wentH3212 to Zarephath.H6886 And when he cameH935 to the gateH6607 of the city,H5892 behold,H2009 the widowH490 womanH802 was thereH8033 gatheringH7197 of sticks:H6086 and he calledH7121 to her, and said,H559 FetchH3947 me, I prayH4994 you, a littleH4592 waterH4325 in a vessel,H3627 that I may drink.H8354
11
And as she was goingH3212 to fetchH3947 it, he calledH7121 to her, and said,H559 BringH3947 me, I prayH4994 you, a morselH6595 of breadH3899 in your hand.H3027
12
And she said,H559 As the LORDH3068 your GodH430 lives,H2416 I haveH3426 not a cake,H4580 but an handfulH4393 H3709 of mealH7058 in a barrel,H3537 and a littleH4592 oilH8081 in a cruse:H6835 and, behold,H2005 I am gatheringH7197 twoH8147 sticks,H6086 that I may goH935 in and dressH6213 it for me and my son,H1121 that we may eatH398 it, and die.H4191
13
And ElijahH452 saidH559 to her, FearH3372 not; goH935 and doH6213 as you have said:H559 but makeH6213 me thereofH8033 a littleH6996 cakeH5692 first,H7223 and bringH3318 it to me, and afterH314 makeH6213 for you and for your son.H1121
14
For thusH3541 saidH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of Israel,H3478 The barrelH3537 of mealH7058 shall not waste,H3615 neitherH3808 shall the cruseH6835 of oilH8081 fail,H2637 untilH5704 the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 sendsH5414 rainH1653 on the earth.H127
15
And she wentH3212 and didH6213 according to the sayingH1697 of Elijah:H452 and she, and he, and her house,H1004 did eatH398 many days.H3117
16
And the barrelH3537 of mealH7058 wastedH3615 not, neitherH3808 did the cruseH6835 of oilH8081 fail,H2638 according to the wordH1697 of the LORD,H3068 whichH834 he spokeH1696 by Elijah.H452
17
And it cameH1961 to pass afterH310 theseH428 things,H1697 that the sonH1121 of the woman,H802 the mistressH1172 of the house,H1004 fell sick;H2470 and his sicknessH2483 was soH3966 sore,H2389 that there was noH3808 breathH5397 leftH3498 in him.
18
And she saidH559 to Elijah,H452 WhatH4100 have I to do with you, O you manH376 of God?H430 are you comeH935 to me to callH2142 my sinH5771 to remembrance,H2142 and to slayH4191 my son?H1121
19
And he saidH559 to her, GiveH5414 me your son.H1121 And he tookH3947 him out of her bosom,H2436 and carriedH5927 him up intoH413 a loft,H5944 whereH834 H8033 he stayed,H3427 and laidH7901 him on his own bed.H4296
20
And he criedH7121 to the LORD,H3068 and said,H559 O LORDH3068 my God,H430 have you also brought evilH7489 on the widowH490 with whomH834 I sojourn,H1481 by slayingH4191 her son?H1121
21
And he stretchedH4058 himself on the childH3206 threeH7969 times,H6471 and criedH7121 to the LORD,H3068 and said,H559 O LORDH3068 my God,H430 I prayH4994 you, let thisH2088 child'sH3206 soulH5315 comeH7725 intoH5921 him again.H7725
22
And the LORDH3068 heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of Elijah;H452 and the soulH5315 of the childH3206 cameH7725 intoH5921 him again,H7725 and he revived.H2421
23
And ElijahH452 tookH3947 the child,H3206 and broughtH3381 him downH3381 out of the chamberH5944 into the house,H1004 and deliveredH5414 him to his mother:H517 and ElijahH452 said,H559 See,H7200 your sonH1121 lives.H2416
24
And the womanH802 saidH559 to Elijah,H452 NowH6258 by thisH2088 I knowH3045 that you are a manH376 of God,H430 and that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 in your mouthH6310 is truth.H571
