1 Kings 17

1 Elijah, having prophesied against Ahab, is sent to Cherith, where the ravens feed him. 8 He is sent to the widow of Zarephath. 17 He raiseth the widow's son. 24 The woman believeth him.

 17:1 Now Elijah 452 the Tishbite 8664b, who was of the settlers 8453 of Gilead 1568, said 559 to Ahab 256, “As the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478 lives 2416a, before 6440 whom 834 I stand 5975, surely 518 there shall be neither 518 dew 2919 nor rain 4306 these 428 years 8141, except 3588 518 by my word 1697.”

 17:2 The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to him, saying 559,

 17:3 “Go 1980 away from here 2088 and turn 6437 eastward 6924b, and hide 5641 yourself by the brook 5158a Cherith 3747, which 834 is east 5921 6440 of the Jordan 3383.

 17:4 “It shall be that you will drink 8354 of the brook 5158a, and I have commanded 6680 the ravens 6158 to provide 3557 for you there 8033.”

 17:5 So he went 1980 and did 6213a according to the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, for he went 1980 and lived 3427 by the brook 5158a Cherith 3747, which 834 is east 5921 6440 of the Jordan 3383.

 17:6 The ravens 6158 brought 935 him bread 3899 and meat 1320 in the morning 1242 and bread 3899 and meat 1320 in the evening 6153, and he would drink 8354 from the brook 5158a.

 17:7 It happened 1961 after 4480 7093 a while 3117 that the brook 5158a dried 3001 up, because 3588 there was no 3808 rain 1653 in the land 776.

 17:8 ¶ Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 to him, saying 559,

 17:9 “Arise 6965, go 1980 to Zarephath 6886, which 834 belongs to Sidon 6721, and stay 3427 there 8033; behold 2009, I have commanded 6680 a widow 490 there 8033 to provide 3557 for you.”

 17:10 So he arose 6965 and went 1980 to Zarephath 6886, and when he came 935 to the gate 6607 of the city 5892b, behold 2009, a widow 490 was there 8033 gathering 7197a sticks 6086; and he called 7121 to her and said 559, “Please 4994 get 3947 me a little 4592 water 4325 in a jar 3627, that I may drink 8354.”

 17:11 As she was going 1980 to get 3947 [it], he called 7121 to her and said 559, “Please 4994 bring 3947 me a piece 6595 of bread 3899 in your hand 3027.”

 17:12 But she said 559, “As the LORD 3068 your God 430 lives 2416a, I have 3426 no 518 bread 4580, only 3588 518 a handful 4393 3709 of flour 7058 in the bowl 3537 and a little 4592 oil 8081 in the jar 6835; and behold 2009, I am gathering 7197a a few 8147 sticks 6086 that I may go 935 in and prepare 6213a for me and my son 1121, that we may eat 398 it and die 4191.”

 17:13 Then Elijah 452 said 559 to her, “Do not fear 3372a; go 935, do 6213a as you have said 1697, but make 6213a me a little 6996a bread 5692 cake 5692 from it first 7223 and bring 3318 [it] out to me, and afterward 314 you may make 6213a [one] for yourself and for your son 1121.

 17:14 “For thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478, ‘The bowl 3537 of flour 7058 shall not be exhausted 3615, nor 3808 shall the jar 6835 of oil 8081 be empty 2637, until 5704 the day 3117 that the LORD 3068 sends 5414 rain 1653 on the face 6440 of the earth 127.’”

 17:15 So she went 1980 and did 6213a according to the word 1697 of Elijah 452, and she and he and her household 1004 ate 398 for [many] days 3117.

 17:16 The bowl 3537 of flour 7058 was not exhausted 3615 nor 3808 did the jar 6835 of oil 8081 become 2637 empty 2637, according to the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 which 834 He spoke 1696 through 3027 Elijah 452.

 17:17 ¶ Now it came 1961 about after 310 these 428 things 1697 that the son 1121 of the woman 802, the mistress 1172 of the house 1004, became 2470a sick 2470a; and his sickness 2483 was so 3966 severe 2389 that there was no 3808 breath 5397 left 3498 in him.

 17:18 So she said 559 to Elijah 452, “What 4100 do I have to do with you, O man 376 of God 430? You have come 935 to me to bring 2142 my iniquity 5771 to remembrance 2142 and to put 4191 my son 1121 to death 4191!”

 17:19 He said 559 to her, “Give 5414 me your son 1121.” Then he took 3947 him from her bosom 2436 and carried 5927 him up to the upper 5944 room 5944 where 834 8033 he was living 3427, and laid 7901 him on his own bed 4296.

 17:20 He called 7121 to the LORD 3068 and said 559, “O LORD 3068 my God 430, have You also 1571 brought 7489a calamity 7489a to the widow 490 with whom 834 I am staying 1481a, by causing her son 1121 to die 4191?”

 17:21 Then he stretched 4058 himself upon the child 3206 three 7969 times 6471, and called 7121 to the LORD 3068 and said 559, “O LORD 3068 my God 430, I pray 4994 You, let this 2088 child’s 3206 life 5315 return 7725 to him.”

 17:22 The LORD 3068 heard 8085 the voice 6963 of Elijah 452, and the life 5315 of the child 3206 returned 7725 to him and he revived 2421a.

 17:23 Elijah 452 took 3947 the child 3206 and brought 3381 him down 3381 from the upper 5944 room 5944 into the house 1004 and gave 5414 him to his mother 517; and Elijah 452 said 559, “See 7200, your son 1121 is alive 2416a.”

 17:24 Then the woman 802 said 559 to Elijah 452, “Now 6258 I know 3045 that you are a man 376 of God 430 and that the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 in your mouth 6310 is truth 571.”
