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 . 2And the word of Jehovah came unto him , saying , 3Get thee hence , and turn thee eastward , and hide thyself by the brook Cherith , that 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 . 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 . 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 was no rain in the land.
Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath
8And the word of Jehovah came unto him , saying , 9Arise , get thee to Zarephath , which belongeth to Sidon , and dwell there : behold , I have commanded a widow there to sustain 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 . 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 . 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 . 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 . 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. 15And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she , and he , and her house , did eat many days . 16The jar of meal wasted not , neither did the cruse of oil fail , according to the word of Jehovah , which he spake by Elijah .
The Miracle of Resurrection
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 . 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 ! 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 . 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 ? 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 . 22And Jehovah hearkened unto 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 , thy son liveth . 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.
