1 Kings 17:8-24

And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
get
<03212> (8798)
thee to Zarephath
<06886>_,
which [belongeth] to Zidon
<06721>_,
and dwell
<03427> (8804)
there: behold, I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
a widow
<0490>
woman
<0802>
there to sustain
<03557> (8771)
thee. {Zarephath: Gr. Sarepta}
So he arose
<06965> (8799)
and went
<03212> (8799)
to Zarephath
<06886>_.
And when he came
<0935> (8799)
to the gate
<06607>
of the city
<05892>_,
behold, the widow
<0490>
woman
<0802>
[was] there gathering
<07197> (8781)
of sticks
<06086>_:
and he called
<07121> (8799)
to her, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Fetch
<03947> (8798)
me, I pray thee, a little
<04592>
water
<04325>
in a vessel
<03627>_,
that I may drink
<08354> (8799)_.
And as she was going
<03212> (8799)
to fetch
<03947> (8800)
[it], he called
<07121> (8799)
to her, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Bring
<03947> (8798)
me, I pray thee, a morsel
<06595>
of bread
<03899>
in thine hand
<03027>_.
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
[As] the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
liveth
<02416>_,
I have
<03426>
not a cake
<04580>_,
but an handful
<04393> <03709>
of meal
<07058>
in a barrel
<03537>_,
and a little
<04592>
oil
<08081>
in a cruse
<06835>_:
and, behold, I [am] gathering
<07197> (8781)
two
<08147>
sticks
<06086>_,
that I may go in
<0935> (8804)
and dress
<06213> (8804)
it for me and my son
<01121>_,
that we may eat
<0398> (8804)
it, and die
<04191> (8804)_.
And Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Fear
<03372> (8799)
not; go
<0935> (8798)
[and] do
<06213> (8798)
as thou hast said
<01697>_:
but make
<06213> (8798)
me thereof
<08033>
a little
<06996>
cake
<05692>
first
<07223>_,
and bring
<03318> (8689)
[it] unto me, and after
<0314>
make
<06213> (8799)
for thee and for thy son
<01121>_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
The barrel
<03537>
of meal
<07058>
shall not waste
<03615> (8799)_,
neither shall the cruse
<06835>
of oil
<08081>
fail
<02637> (8799)_,
until the day
<03117>
[that] the LORD
<03068>
sendeth
<05414> (8800)
rain
<01653>
upon
<06440>
the earth
<0127>_.
{sendeth: Heb. giveth}
And she went
<03212> (8799)
and did
<06213> (8799)
according to the saying
<01697>
of Elijah
<0452>_:
and she, and he, and her house
<01004>_,
did eat
<0398> (8799)
[many] days
<03117>_.
{many...: or, a full year}
[And] the barrel
<03537>
of meal
<07058>
wasted
<03615> (8804)
not, neither did the cruse
<06835>
of oil
<08081>
fail
<02638>_,
according to the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
which he spake
<01696> (8765)
by
<03027>
Elijah
<0452>_.
{by: Heb. by the hand of}
And it came to pass after
<0310>
these things
<01697>_,
[that] the son
<01121>
of the woman
<0802>_,
the mistress
<01172>
of the house
<01004>_,
fell sick
<02470> (8804)_;
and his sickness
<02483>
was so
<03966>
sore
<02389>_,
that there was no breath
<05397>
left
<03498> (8738)
in him.
And she said
<0559> (8799)
unto Elijah
<0452>_,
What have I to do with thee, O thou man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_?
art thou come
<0935> (8804)
unto me to call
<02142> (0)
my sin
<05771>
to remembrance
<02142> (8687)_,
and to slay
<04191> (8687)
my son
<01121>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Give
<05414> (8798)
me thy son
<01121>_.
And he took
<03947> (8799)
him out of her bosom
<02436>_,
and carried him up
<05927> (8686)
into a loft
<05944>_,
where he abode
<03427> (8802)_,
and laid
<07901> (8686)
him upon his own bed
<04296>_.
And he cried
<07121> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
O LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>_,
hast thou also brought evil
<07489> (8689)
upon the widow
<0490>
with whom I sojourn
<01481> (8711)_,
by slaying
<04191> (8687)
her son
<01121>_?
And he stretched
<04058> (8709)
himself upon the child
<03206>
three
<07969>
times
<06471>_,
and cried
<07121> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
O LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>_,
I pray thee, let this child's
<03206>
soul
<05315>
come
<07725> (0)
into him
<07130>
again
<07725> (8799)_.
{stretched: Heb. measured} {into...: Heb. into his inward parts}
And the LORD
<03068>
heard
<08085> (8799)
the voice
<06963>
of Elijah
<0452>_;
and the soul
<05315>
of the child
<03206>
came
<07725> (0)
into him
<07130>
again
<07725> (8799)_,
and he revived
<02421> (8799)_.
And Elijah
<0452>
took
<03947> (8799)
the child
<03206>_,
and brought him down
<03381> (8686)
out of the chamber
<05944>
into the house
<01004>_,
and delivered
<05414> (8799)
him unto his mother
<0517>_:
and Elijah
<0452>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
See
<07200> (8798)_,
thy son
<01121>
liveth
<02416>_.
And the woman
<0802>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Elijah
<0452>_,
Now by this
<02088>
I know
<03045> (8804)
that thou [art] a man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
[and] that the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
in thy mouth
<06310>
[is] truth
<0571>_.
