1	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. [Elijah: Heb. Elijahu: Gr. Elias]
			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. [after...: Heb. at the end of days]
			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. [Zarephath: Gr. Sarepta]
			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. [sendeth: Heb. giveth]
			15	And she went# and did# according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat# many days. [many...: or, a full year]
			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. [by: Heb. by the hand of]
			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# . [stretched: Heb. measured] [into...: Heb. into his inward parts]
			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.
