Chapter 17
And
Elijah
the
Tishbite,
who
was
of
the
inhabitants
of
Gilead,
said
unto
Ahab,
As
the
Lord
God
of
Israel
liveth,
before
whom
I
stand,
there
shall
not
be
dew
nor
rain
these
years,
but
according
to
my
word.
2
And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
unto
him,
saying,
3
Get
thee
hence,
and
turn
thee
eastward,
and
hide
thyself
by
the
brook
Cherith,
that
is
before
Jordan.
4
And
it
shall
be,
that
thou
shalt
drink
of
the
brook;
and
I
have
commanded
the
ravens
to
feed
thee
there.
5
So
he
went
and
did
according
unto
the
word
of
the
Lord:
for
he
went
and
dwelt
by
the
brook
Cherith,
that
is
before
Jordan.
6
And
the
ravens
brought
him
bread
and
flesh
in
the
morning,
and
bread
and
flesh
in
the
evening;
and
he
drank
of
the
brook.
7
And
it
came
to
pass
after
a
while,
that
the
brook
dried
up,
because
there
had
been
no
rain
in
the
land.
8
And
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
unto
him,
saying,
9
Arise,
get
thee
to
Zarephath,
which
belongeth
to
Zidon,
and
dwell
there:
behold,
I
have
commanded
a
widow
woman
there
to
sustain
thee.
10
So
he
arose
and
went
to
Zarephath.
And
when
he
came
to
the
gate
of
the
city,
behold,
the
widow
woman
was
there
gathering
of
sticks:
and
he
called
to
her,
and
said,
Fetch
me,
I
pray
thee,
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
Lord
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
Lord
God
of
Israel,
The
barrel
of
meal
shall
not
waste,
neither
shall
the
cruse
of
oil
fail,
until
the
day
that
the
Lord
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
Lord,
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
Lord,
and
said,
O
Lord
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
Lord,
and
said,
O
Lord
my
God,
I
pray
thee,
let
this
child’s
soul
come
into
him
again.
22
And
the
Lord
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
Lord
in
thy
mouth
is
truth.
