And Elijah{H452} the Tishbite,{H8664} who was of the sojourners{H8453} of Gilead,{H1568} said{H559} unto Ahab,{H256} As Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} liveth,{H2416} before{H6440} whom I stand,{H5975} there shall not be dew{H2919} nor rain{H4306} these years,{H8141} but according{H6310} to my word.{H1697}

And the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} came unto him, saying,{H559}

Get{H3212} thee hence, and turn{H6437} thee eastward,{H6924} and hide{H5641} thyself by the brook{H5158} Cherith,{H3747} that is before{H6440} the Jordan.{H3383}

And it shall be, that thou shalt drink{H8354} of the brook;{H5158} and I have commanded{H6680} the ravens{H6158} to feed{H3557} thee there.

So he went{H3212} and did{H6213} according unto the word{H1697} of Jehovah;{H3068} for he went{H3212} and dwelt{H3427} by the brook{H5158} Cherith,{H3747} that is before{H6440} the Jordan.{H3383}

And the ravens{H6158} brought{H935} him bread{H3899} and flesh{H1320} in the morning,{H1242} and bread{H3899} and flesh{H1320} in the evening;{H6153} and he drank{H8354} of the brook.{H5158}

And it came to pass after{H7093} a while,{H3117} that the brook{H5158} dried up,{H3001} because there was no rain{H1653} in the land.{H776}

And the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} came unto him, saying,{H559}

Arise,{H6965} get{H3212} thee to Zarephath,{H6886} which belongeth to Sidon,{H6721} and dwell{H3427} there: behold, I have commanded{H6680} a widow{H490} {H802} there to sustain{H3557} thee.

So he arose{H6965} and went{H3212} to Zarephath;{H6886} and when he came{H935} to the gate{H6607} of the city,{H5892} behold, a widow{H490} {H802} was there gathering{H7197} sticks:{H6086} and he called{H7121} to her, and said,{H559} Fetch{H3947} me, I pray thee, a little{H4592} water{H4325} in a vessel,{H3627} that I may drink.{H8354}

And as she was going{H3212} to fetch{H3947} it, he called{H7121} to her, and said,{H559} Bring{H3947} me, I pray thee, a morsel{H6595} of bread{H3899} in thy hand.{H3027}

And she said,{H559} As Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} liveth,{H2416} I have{H3426} not a cake,{H4580} but a handful{H4393} of meal{H7058} in the jar,{H3537} and a little{H4592} oil{H8081} in the cruse:{H6835} and, behold, I am gathering{H7197} two{H8147} sticks,{H6086} that I may go in{H935} and dress{H6213} it for me and my son,{H1121} that we may eat{H398} it, and die.{H4191}

And Elijah{H452} said{H559} unto her, Fear{H3372} not; go{H935} and do{H6213} as thou hast said;{H1697} but make{H6213} me thereof{H8033} a little{H6996} cake{H5692} first,{H7223} and bring{H3318} it forth unto me, and afterward{H314} make{H6213} for thee and for thy son.{H1121}

For thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of Israel,{H3478} The jar{H3537} of meal{H7058} shall not waste,{H3615} neither shall the cruse{H6835} of oil{H8081} fail,{H2637} until the day{H3117} that Jehovah{H3068} sendeth{H5414} rain{H1653} upon{H6440} the earth.{H127}

And she went{H3212} and did{H6213} according to the saying{H1697} of Elijah:{H452} and she, and he, and her house,{H1004} did eat{H398} [many] days.{H3117}

The jar{H3537} of meal{H7058} wasted{H3615} not, neither did the cruse{H6835} of oil{H8081} fail,{H2638} according to the word{H1697} of Jehovah,{H3068} which he spake{H1696} by{H3027} Elijah.{H452}

And it came to pass after{H310} these things,{H1697} that the son{H1121} of the woman,{H802} the mistress{H1172} of the house,{H1004} fell sick;{H2470} and his sickness{H2483} was so{H3966} sore,{H2389} that there was no breath{H5397} left{H3498} in him.

And she said{H559} unto Elijah,{H452} What have I to do with thee, O thou man{H376} of God?{H430} thou art come{H935} unto me to bring{H2142} my sin{H5771} to remembrance,{H2142} and to slay{H4191} my son!{H1121}

And he said{H559} unto her, Give{H5414} me thy son.{H1121} And he took{H3947} him out of her bosom,{H2436} and carried him up{H5927} into the chamber,{H5944} where he abode,{H3427} and laid{H7901} him upon his own bed.{H4296}

And he cried{H7121} unto Jehovah,{H3068} and said,{H559} O Jehovah{H3068} my God,{H430} hast thou also brought evil{H7489} upon the widow{H490} with whom I sojourn,{H1481} by slaying{H4191} her son?{H1121}

And he stretched{H4058} himself upon the child{H3206} three{H7969} times,{H6471} and cried{H7121} unto Jehovah,{H3068} and said,{H559} O Jehovah{H3068} my God,{H430} I pray thee, let this child's{H3206} soul{H5315} come{H7725} into him{H7130} again.{H7725}

And Jehovah{H3068} hearkened{H8085} unto the voice{H6963} of Elijah;{H452} and the soul{H5315} of the child{H3206} came{H7725} into him{H7130} again,{H7725} and he revived.{H2421}

And Elijah{H452} took{H3947} the child,{H3206} and brought him down{H3381} out of the chamber{H5944} into the house,{H1004} and delivered{H5414} him unto his mother;{H517} and Elijah{H452} said,{H559} See,{H7200} thy son{H1121} liveth.{H2416}

And the woman{H802} said{H559} to Elijah,{H452} Now{H2088} I know{H3045} that thou art a man{H376} of God,{H430} and that the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} in thy mouth{H6310} is truth.{H571}
