1 Kings 17 Elijah the Tishbite from Tishbe of Gilead said to Ahab, "As the LORD lives, the God of Israel before whom I stand, there shall surely not be dew nor rain these years except by my command."

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Elijah the Tishbite from Tishbe of Gilead said to Ahab, "As the LORD lives, the God of Israel before whom I stand, there shall surely not be dew nor rain these years except by my command." ² Then a word of the Lord came to Elias, ³ »Go east from here and hide by the Cherith Brook, east of Jordan. ⁴ "You will drink from the brook. I have ordered the ravens to feed you there." ⁵ So he did as the LORD said, living by the Cherith Brook, east of Jordan. ⁶ The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook. ⁷ But after a while, the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. ⁸ Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying: ⁹ "Get up, move to Zarephath in Sidon, and stay there. Look! I've commanded a widow to sustain you there." ¹⁰ So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her, and said, “Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink.” ¹¹ As she was going to get it, he said: "And get me some bread." ¹² She said, "As the LORD your God lives, I do not have anything baked, except a handful of flour in a jar, and a little oil in a jug. Look, I am gathering a couple of sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die." ¹³ And Elijah said to her, Have no fear; go and do as you have said, but first make me a little cake of it and come and give it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. ¹⁴ For thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: 'The jar of flour will not be emptied and the jug of olive oil will not run out until the day the LORD gives rain on the surface of the earth.'" ¹⁵ And she went and did as Elijah told her; and he and she and her house ate for many days. ¹⁶ the pitcher of meal was not consumed, and the jar of oil did not fail, according to the Word of the LORD which He spoke by Elijah. ¹⁷ Sometime later, the son of the woman who owned the house became ill. In fact, his illness became so severe that he died. ¹⁸ She said to Elijah, "What do you have against me, O man of God, that you have come to me to make known my guilt and to cause my son to die?" ¹⁹ "Give me your son," he replied. Then he took him from her lap, carried him upstairs to the room where he lived, and laid him on his bed. ²⁰ And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, have you also brought tragedy upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son? ²¹ And he stretched himself upon the lad three times, and called unto the LORD and said, "O LORD my God, let the lad's soul come into him again." ²² The LORD listened to Elijah, and the soul of the little boy returned to him, and he revived. ²³ Elijah then took the child and brought him down from the upper room to the house and gave him to his mother. Elijah said, "Look, your son is alive." ²⁴ And the woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is the truth."
