Book 11 : 1 KINGS - Chapter 017
017:001
And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying
017:002
Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by
the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan
017:003
And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I
have commanded the ravens to feed thee there
017:004
So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he
went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan
017:005
And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and
bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook
017:006
And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up,
because there had been no rain in the land
017:007
And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying
017:008
Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and
dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to
sustain thee
017:009
So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the
gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering
of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray
thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink
017:010
And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said,
Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand
017:011
And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake,
but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a
cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go
in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and
die
017:012
And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast
said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it
unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son
017:013
For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal
shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until
the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth
017:014
And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and
she, and he, and her house, did eat many days
017:015
And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of
oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by
Elijah
017:016
And it came to pass after these things, that 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
017:017
And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou
man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to
remembrance, and to slay my son
017:018
And he said unto her, Give me thy 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
017:019
And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou
also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by
slaying her son
017:020
And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried
unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this
child's soul come into him again
017:021
And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the
child came into him again, and he revived
017:022
And 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, thy son liveth
017:023
And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art
a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is
truth
