a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
11
And as she was going to fetch
it,
he called to her, and
said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
12
And she said,
As
the L
ORD
thy God
liveth, I have not a cake, but an 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.
13
And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go
and
do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little
cake first, and bring
it
unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
14
For thus saith the L
ORD
God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day
that
the L
ORD
sendeth rain upon the earth.
15
And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah:
and she, and he, and her house, did eat
many
days.
16
And
the barrel of meal wasted not, neither
did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the L
ORD
, which he spake by Elijah.
17
And 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.
18
And she said unto
Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to
remembrance, and to slay my son?
19
And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out
of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.
20
And he cried unto the L
ORD
, and said, O L
ORD
my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the
widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
21
And he stretched himself upon the child three
times, and cried unto the L
ORD
, and said, O L
ORD
my God, I pray thee, let this child’s soul come
into him again.
22
And the L
ORD
heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him
again, and he revived.
23
And 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.
24
And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou
art
a man of God,
and
that the
word of the L
ORD
in thy mouth
is
truth.
CHAPTER KINGS 18
And it came to pass
after
many days, that the word of the L
ORD
came to Elijah in the third year,
saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.
2
And Elijah went to shew
himself unto Ahab. And
there was
a sore famine in Samaria.
3
And Ahab called Obadiah, which
was
the governor of
his
house. (Now Obadiah feared the L
ORD
greatly:
4
For it was
so,
when Jezebel
cut off the prophets of the L
ORD
, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in
a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
5
And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto
all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and
mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.
6
So they divided the land between them to pass
throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
7
And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face,
and said,
Art
thou that my lord Elijah?
8
And he answered him, I
am:
go, tell thy lord, Behold,
