17:1 And
Elijah
the
Tishbite,
of
the
inhabitants
of
Gilead,
saith
unto
Ahab,
`Jehovah,
God
of
Israel,
liveth,
before
whom
I
have
stood,
there
is
not
these
years
dew
and
rain,
except
according
to
my
word.'
17:2 And
the
word
of
Jehovah
is
unto
him,
saying,
17:3 `Go
from
this
[place]
;
and
thou
hast
turned
for
thee
eastward,
and
been
hidden
by
the
brook
Cherith,
that
[is]
on
the
front
of
the
Jordan,
17:4 and
it
hath
been,
from
the
brook
thou
dost
drink,
and
the
ravens
I
have
commanded
to
sustain
thee
there.'
17:5 And
he
goeth
and
doth
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah,
yea,
he
goeth
and
dwelleth
by
the
brook
Cherith,
that
[is]
on
the
front
of
the
Jordan,
17:6 and
the
ravens
are
bringing
to
him
bread
and
flesh
in
the
morning,
and
bread
and
flesh
in
the
evening,
and
of
the
brook
he
drinketh.
17:7 And
it
cometh
to
pass,
at
the
end
of
days,
that
the
brook
drieth
up,
for
there
hath
been
no
rain
in
the
land,
17:8 and
the
word
of
Jehovah
is
unto
him,
saying,
17:9 `Rise,
go
to
Zarephath,
that
[is]
to
Zidon,
and
thou
hast
dwelt
there;
lo,
I
have
commanded
there
a
widow
woman
to
sustain
thee.'
17:10 And
he
riseth,
and
goeth
to
Zarephath,
and
cometh
in
unto
the
opening
of
the
city,
and
lo
there,
a
widow
woman
gathering
sticks,
and
he
calleth
unto
her,
and
saith,
`Bring,
I
pray
thee,
to
me,
a
little
water
in
a
vessel,
and
I
drink.'
17:11 And
she
goeth
to
bring
[it]
,
and
he
calleth
unto
her
and
saith,
`Bring,
I
pray
thee,
to
me
a
morsel
of
bread
in
thy
hand.'
17:12 And
she
saith,
`Jehovah
thy
God
liveth,
I
have
not
a
cake,
but
the
fulness
of
the
hand
of
meal
in
a
pitcher,
and
a
little
oil
in
a
dish;
and
lo,
I
am
gathering
two
sticks,
and
have
gone
in
and
prepared
it
for
myself,
and
for
my
son,
and
we
have
eaten
it--and
died.'
17:13 And
Elijah
saith
unto
her,
`Fear
not,
go,
do
according
to
thy
word,
only
make
for
me
thence
a
little
cake,
in
the
first
place,
and
thou
hast
brought
out
to
me;
and
for
thee
and
for
thy
son
make--last;
17:14 for
thus
said
Jehovah,
God
of
Israel,
The
pitcher
of
meal
is
not
consumed,
and
the
dish
of
oil
is
not
lacking,
till
the
day
of
Jehovah's
giving
a
shower
on
the
face
of
the
ground.'
17:15 And
she
goeth,
and
doth
according
to
the
word
of
Elijah,
and
she
eateth,
she
and
he,
and
her
household--days;
17:16 the
pitcher
of
meal
was
not
consumed,
and
the
dish
of
oil
did
not
lack,
according
to
the
word
of
Jehovah
that
He
spake
by
the
hand
of
Elijah.
17:17 And
it
cometh
to
pass,
after
these
things,
the
son
of
the
woman,
mistress
of
the
house,
hath
been
sick,
and
his
sickness
is
very
severe
till
that
no
breath
hath
been
left
in
him.
17:18 And
she
saith
unto
Elijah,
`What--to
me
and
to
thee,
O
man
of
God
thou
hast
come
unto
me
to
cause
mine
iniquity
to
be
remembered,
and
to
put
my
son
to
death!'
17:19 And
he
saith
unto
her,
`Give
to
me
thy
son;'
and
he
taketh
him
out
of
her
bosom,
and
taketh
him
up
unto
the
upper
chamber
where
he
is
abiding,
and
layeth
him
on
his
own
bed,
17:20 and
crieth
unto
Jehovah,
and
saith,
`Jehovah
my
God,
also
on
the
widow
with
whom
I
am
sojourning
hast
Thou
done
evil--to
put
her
son
to
death'
17:21 And
he
stretcheth
himself
out
on
the
lad
three
times,
and
calleth
unto
Jehovah,
and
saith,
`O
Jehovah
my
God,
let
turn
back,
I
pray
Thee,
the
soul
of
this
lad
into
his
midst;'
17:22 and
Jehovah
hearkeneth
to
the
voice
of
Elijah,
and
the
soul
of
the
lad
turneth
back
into
his
midst,
and
he
liveth.
17:23 And
Elijah
taketh
the
lad,
and
bringeth
him
down
from
the
upper
chamber
of
the
house,
and
giveth
him
to
his
mother,
and
Elijah
saith,
`See,
thy
son
liveth!'
17:24 And
the
woman
saith
unto
Elijah,
`Now,
this
I
have
known,
that
a
man
of
God
thou
[art]
,
and
the
word
of
Jehovah
in
thy
mouth
[is]
truth.'
