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