1 Kings 17

1And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the sojourners of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As Jehovah, the God of Israel, liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.

1And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, As Jehovah theGod of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except by my word.

2And the word of Jehovah came unto him, saying,

2And the word of Jehovah came to him saying,

3Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.

3Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the torrent Cherith, which is before the Jordan.

4And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.

4And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the torrent; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.

5So he went and did according unto the word of Jehovah; for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.

5And he went and did according to the word of Jehovah; he went and abode by the torrent Cherith, which is before the 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.

6And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the torrent.

7And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.

7And it came to pass after a while that the torrent dried up, for there had been no rain in the land.

8And the word of Jehovah came unto him, saying,

8And the word of Jehovah came to him saying,

9Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Sidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain thee.

9Arise, go to Zarephath, which is by Zidon, and abide there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to maintain thee.

10So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.

10And he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the entrance of the city, behold, a widow woman was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.

11And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand.

11And she went to fetch [it], and he called to her and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand.

12And she said, As Jehovah thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but a handful of meal in the jar, and a little oil in the 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.

12And she said, As Jehovah thyGod liveth, I have not a cake, but a 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.

13And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said; but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it forth unto me, and afterward make for thee and for thy son.

13And Elijah said to her, Fear not; go, do as thou hast said; but make me thereof a little cake first; and bring it to me; and afterwards make for thee and for thy son.

14For thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, The jar of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that Jehovah sendeth rain upon the earth.

14For thus saith Jehovah theGod of Israel: The meal in the barrel shall not waste, neither shall the oil in the cruse fail, until the day that Jehovah sendeth rain upon the face of the earth!

15And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.

15And she went and did according to the word of Elijah; and she, and he, and her house, ate a whole year.

16The jar of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spake by Elijah.

16The meal in the barrel did not waste, neither did the oil in the cruse fail, according to the word of Jehovah which he had spoken through Elijah.

17And 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.

17And 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 severe that there was no breath left in him.

18And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? thou art come unto me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son!

18And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man ofGod? art thou come to me to call mine iniquity to remembrance, and to slay my son?

19And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the chamber, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.

19And he said to her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the upper chamber where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.

20And he cried unto Jehovah, and said, O Jehovah my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?

20And he cried to Jehovah and said, Jehovah, myGod, hast thou 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 Jehovah, and said, O Jehovah my God, I pray thee, let this child’s soul come into him again.

21And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried to Jehovah and said, Jehovah, myGod, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again!

22And Jehovah hearkened unto the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.

22And Jehovah heard the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the child came into him again, and he lived.

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, thy son liveth.

23And Elijah took the child, and brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, See, thy son lives.

24And the woman said to Elijah, Now I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of Jehovah in thy mouth is truth.

24And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man ofGod, and that the word of Jehovah in thy mouth is truth.
