And he called to her and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. 11And she went to fetch [it], and he called to her and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand. 12And she said, As Jehovah thyGod liveth, I have not a cake, but a 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. 13And Elijah said to her, Fear not; go, do as thou hast said; but make me thereof a little cake first; and bring it to me; and afterwards make for thee and for thy son. 14For thus saith Jehovah theGod of Israel: The meal in the barrel shall not waste, neither shall the oil in the cruse fail, until the day that Jehovah sendeth rain upon the face of the earth! 15And she went and did according to the word of Elijah; and she, and he, and her house, ate a whole year. 16The meal in the barrel did not waste, neither did the oil in the cruse fail, according to the word of Jehovah which he had spoken through Elijah. 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 severe that there was no breath left in him. 18And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man ofGod? art thou come to me to call mine iniquity to remembrance, and to slay my son? 19And he said to her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the upper chamber where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed. 20And he cried to Jehovah and said, Jehovah, myGod, 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 to Jehovah and said, Jehovah, myGod, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again! 22And Jehovah heard the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the child came into him again, and he lived. 23And Elijah took the child, and brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, See, thy son lives. 24And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man ofGod, and that the word of Jehovah in thy mouth is truth. ‹Previous chapter1 Kings 16Next chapter1 Kings 18›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.Versions1 Kings 17 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
