[1] Elijah the Tishbite, who was one of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.” [2] Then Yahweh’s word came to him, saying, [3] “Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan. [4] You shall drink from the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” [5] So he went and did according to Yahweh’s word, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan. [6] The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook. [7] After a while, the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land. [8] Yahweh’s word came to him, saying, [9] “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.” [10] So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and said, “Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink.” [11] As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.” [12] She said, “As Yahweh your God lives, I don’t have anything baked, but only a handful of meal in a jar and a little oil in a jar. Behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.” [13] Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go and do as you have said; but make me a little cake from it first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for you and for your son. [14] For Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘The jar of meal will not run out, and the jar of oil will not fail, until the day that Yahweh sends rain on the earth.’” [15] She went and did according to the saying of Elijah; and she, he, and her household ate many days. [16] The jar of meal didn’t run out and the jar of oil didn’t fail, according to Yahweh’s word, which he spoke by Elijah. [17] After these things, the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick; and his sickness was so severe that there was no breath left in him. [18] She said to Elijah, “What have I to do with you, you man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to memory, and to kill my son!” [19] He said to her, “Give me your son.” He took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the room where he stayed, and laid him on his own bed. [20] He cried to Yahweh and said, “Yahweh my God, have you also brought evil on the widow with whom I am staying, by killing her son?” [21] He stretched himself on the child three times, and cried to Yahweh and said, “Yahweh my God, please let this child’s soul come into him again.” [22] Yahweh listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived. [23] Elijah took the child and brought him down out of the room into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, “Behold, your son lives.” [24] The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that Yahweh’s word in your mouth is truth.”
King James Version

Elijah

[1] And Elijah H452§ the Tishbite, H8664 who was of the inhabitants H8453 of Gilead, H1568 said H559 unto H413 Ahab, H256 As the Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 liveth, H2416 before H6440 whom H834 I stand, H5975 there shall not be dew H2919 nor rain H4306 these H428 years, H8141 but according H6310 to my word. H1697 [2] And the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came unto him, saying, H559 [3] Get H3212 thee hence, and turn H6437 thee eastward, H6924 and hide H5641 thyself by the brook H5158 Cherith, H3747 that is before H6440 Jordan. H3383 [4] 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. [5] So he went H3212 and did H6213 according unto the word H1697 of the Lord: H3068 for he went H3212 and dwelt H3427 by the brook H5158 Cherith, H3747 that is before H6440 Jordan. H3383 [6] 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 [7] And it came to pass after H7093 a while, H3117§ that the brook H5158 dried up, H3001 because H3588 there had been no rain H1653 in the land. H776

At Zarephath

[8] And the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came unto him, saying, H559 [9] Arise, H6965 get H3212 thee to Zarephath, H6886 which belongeth to Zidon, H6721 and dwell H3427 there: behold, I have commanded H6680 a widow H490 woman H802 there H8033 to sustain H3557 thee. [10] So he arose H6965 and went H3212 to Zarephath. H6886 And when he came H935 to the gate H6607 of the city, H5892 behold, the widow H490 woman H802 was there gathering H7197 of 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 [11] 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 thine hand. H3027 [12] And she said, H559 As the Lord H3068 thy God H430 liveth, H2416 I have H3426 not a cake, H4580 but an handful H4393 H3709 of meal H7058 in a barrel, H3537 and a little H4592 oil H8081 in a 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 [13] And Elijah H452 said H559 unto H413 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 unto me, and after H314 make H6213 for thee and for thy son. H1121 [14] For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 The barrel H3537 of meal H7058 shall H3615 not H3808 waste, H3615 neither shall the cruse H6835 of oil H8081 fail, H2637 until H5704 the day H3117 that the Lord H3068 sendeth H5414§ rain H1653 upon H6440 the earth. H127 [15] 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§ [16] And the barrel H3537 of meal H7058 wasted H3615 not, neither did the cruse H6835 of oil H8081 fail, H2638 according to the word H1697 of the Lord, H3068 which H834 he spake H1696 by H3027§ Elijah. H452 [17] And it came to pass after H310 these H428 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. [18] And she said H559 unto H413 Elijah, H452 What H4100 have I to do with thee, O thou man H376 of God? H430 art thou come H935 unto H413 me to call H2142 H853 my sin H5771 to remembrance, H2142 and to slay H4191 H853 my son? H1121 [19] And he said H559 unto H413 her, Give H5414 H853 me thy son. H1121 And he took H3947 him out of her bosom, H2436 and carried him up H5927 into a loft, H5944 where H834 he abode, H3427 and laid H7901 him upon his own bed. H4296 [20] And he cried H7121 unto H413 the Lord, H3068 and said, H559 O Lord H3068 my God, H430 hast thou also brought evil H7489 upon H5921 the widow H490 with H5973 whom H834 I sojourn, H1481 by slaying H4191 H853 her son? H1121 [21] And he stretched H4058§ himself upon the child H3206 three H7969 times, H6471 and cried H7121 unto H413 the Lord, H3068 and said, H559 O Lord H3068 my God, H430 I pray thee, let this child’s H3206 soul H5315 come H7725 into him H7130 again. H7725§ [22] And the Lord H3068 heard H8085 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 [23] And Elijah H452 took H3947 H853 the child, H3206 and brought him down H3381 out of H4480 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 [24] And the woman H802 said H559 to Elijah, H452 Now H6258 by this H2088 I know H3045 that thou art a man H376 of God, H430 and that the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 in thy mouth H6310 is truth.
