11 As she went to get it, he called out to her,“Please bring me a piece of bread.”
12 She said,“As certainly as the LORD your God lives, I have no food, except for a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. Right now I am gathering a couple of sticks for a fire. Then I’m going home to make one final meal for my son and myself. After we have eaten that, we will die of starvation.”
13 Elijah said to her,“Don’t be afraid. Go and do as you planned. But first make me a small cake and bring it to me; then make something for yourself and your son.
14 For this is what the LORD God of Israel has said,‘The jar of flour will not be empty and the jug of oil will not run out until the day the LORD makes it rain on the surface of the ground.’”
15 She went and did as Elijah told her; there was always enough food for Elijah and for her and her family.
16 The jar of flour was never empty and the jug of oil never ran out, in keeping with the LORD’s message that he had spoken through Elijah.
17 After this the son of the woman who owned the house got sick. His illness was so severe he could no longer breathe.
18 She asked Elijah,“Why, prophet, have you come to me to confront me with my sin and kill my son?”
19 He said to her,“Hand me your son.” He took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him down on his bed.
20 Then he called out to the LORD,“O LORD, my God, are you also bringing disaster on this widow I am staying with by killing her son?”
21 He stretched out over the boy three times and called out to the LORD,“O LORD, my God, please let this boy’s breath return to him.”
22 The LORD answered Elijah’s prayer; the boy’s breath returned to him and he lived.
23 Elijah took the boy, brought him down from the upper room to the house, and handed him to his mother. Elijah then said,“See, your son is alive!”

11 Now you say,‘Go and say to your master,“Elijah is back.”’
12 But when I leave you, the LORD’s Spirit will carry you away so I can’t find you. If I go tell Ahab I’ve seen you, he won’t be able to find you and he will kill me. That would not be fair, because your servant has been a loyal follower of the LORD from my youth.
13 Certainly my master is aware of what I did when Jezebel was killing the LORD’s prophets. I hid one hundred of the LORD’s prophets in two caves in two groups of fifty and I brought them food and water.
14 Now you say,‘Go and say to your master,“Elijah is back,”’ but he will kill me.”
15 But Elijah said,“As certainly as the LORD of Heaven’s Armies lives(whom I serve), I will make an appearance before him today.”
