Berean Standard Bible
And
Elijah the Tishbite, of
the inhabitants
of Gilead, saith
unto
Ahab, `Jehovah,
God of Israel ,
liveth,
before whom I have
stood,
there is
not
these
years
dew and
rain ,
except according
to
my word .'
Now
Elijah the Tishbite, who
was
among
the settlers
of Gilead, said
to
Ahab, “As
surely
as
the
LORD
lives—the
God of Israel before whom I stand—
there will
be
neither
dew nor
rain in
these
years
except at
my word !”
And
the word
of
Jehovah
is
unto
him,
saying,
Then
a
revelation
from
the LORD
came
to
Elijah:
`Go
from
this
`place';
and
thou
hast
turned
for
thee
eastward, and been
hidden
by the brook Cherith, that
`is'
on
the
front
of the Jordan ,
“Leave
here,
turn
eastward, and hide
yourself
by the Brook of
Cherith, east
of the Jordan .
and it
hath
been,
from the brook thou
dost
drink
, and the
ravens
I have commanded to sustain
thee
there. '
And you
are
to
drink
from the brook, and I have commanded the
ravens
to feed
you
there. ”
And
he
goeth
and
doth
according
to
the word
of
Jehovah,
yea
, he goeth
and dwelleth
by the brook Cherith, that
`is'
on
the
front
of the Jordan ,
So
Elijah
did
what
the LORD
had
told
him
, and
he went
and lived
by the Brook of
Cherith, east
of the Jordan .
and
the ravens are
bringing
to
him bread and flesh
in the morning ,
and bread
and
flesh
in
the
evening, and of
the brook he
drinketh
.
The ravens would
bring
him bread and meat
in the morning and evening, and he
would
drink
from
the brook.
And
it
cometh
to
pass
, at
the
end
of
days
, that
the brook drieth
up ,
for
there hath
been no rain in the land ,
Some
time
later
, however
, the brook dried
up because
there had
been no rain in the land .
and
the word of Jehovah
is
unto
him,
saying,
Then
the word of the
LORD
came
to
Elijah:
`Rise,
go to Zarephath ,
that
`is'
to
Zidon
, and thou
hast
dwelt
there ;
lo
, I have commanded there
a widow woman
to sustain
thee
. '
“Get
up
and
go to Zarephath of
Sidon
, and stay
there .
Behold
, I have commanded a widow there
to provide
for
you
. ”
And
he
riseth,
and goeth
to Zarephath ,
and
cometh
in
unto
the
opening
of
the city, and
lo
there ,
a widow woman
gathering sticks ,
and
he
calleth
unto
her ,
and saith
, `
Bring ,
I
pray
thee,
to
me ,
a little water in a vessel
, and
I drink. '
So
Elijah
got
up
and went
to Zarephath .
When
he
arrived
at
the city gate
, there was
a widow gathering sticks .
Elijah
called
to
her and said
, “Please
bring me a little water in a cup
, so
that
I may
drink. ”
And she goeth
to bring
`
it '
, and
he calleth
unto
her and saith
, `
Bring ,
I
pray
thee,
to
me a morsel
of bread in
thy
hand
. '
And as
she was
going
to get
it, he called
to
her and said
, “Please
bring me a piece
of bread. ”
And
she saith
, `Jehovah
thy
God liveth
, I have not
a cake,
but
the
fulness
of
the
hand
of meal
in a pitcher,
and a little oil in a dish;
and
lo
, I am gathering two
sticks ,
and
have
gone
in
and prepared
it
for myself ,
and for
my son, and
we have
eaten
it --
and died
. '
But
she replied
, “As
surely
as
the
LORD
your
God lives
, I have no
bread—only
a handful
of flour
in a jar
and a little oil in a jug.
Look
, I am gathering a
couple
of
sticks to
take
home
and prepare
a
meal
for myself and my son, so
that
we may
eat
it and die
. ”
And
Elijah
saith
unto
her,
`Fear
not, go ,
do according
to
thy
word,
only
make for
me thence
a little
cake ,
in
the
first
place
, and thou
hast
brought
out to me ;
and
for thee
and for
thy
son make
--
last;
“Do
not be
afraid
, ”
Elijah
said
to
her.
“
Go and
do as
you
have
said.
But
first
make me a small
cake of
bread
from
what
you
have
, and bring
it
out to me .
Afterward,
make
some
for yourself
and your
son ,
for thus
said
Jehovah
, God of Israel, The pitcher
of meal
is
not consumed,
and the dish
of oil is
not lacking,
till
the day of
Jehovah's
giving
a
shower
on
the face of the ground
. '
for this
is
what
the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, says:
‘
The jar
of flour
will
not be
exhausted
and the jug
of oil will
not run
dry
until
the day the LORD
sends
rain
upon
the
face of the earth
. ’”
And
she goeth,
and doth
according to the word of Elijah, and she
eateth,
she
and he,
and her household --
days;
So
she went
and did
according to the word of Elijah, and there
was
food
every
day
for
Elijah
and the
woman
and her household .
the pitcher
of meal
was not consumed,
and the dish
of oil did not lack
, according to the word of
Jehovah
that He
spake
by
the hand
of
Elijah.
The jar
of flour
was not exhausted
and the jug
of oil did not run
dry
, according to the word that the LORD
had
spoken
through
Elijah.
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
after
these
things
, the son of the woman ,
mistress
of
the house ,
hath
been
sick
, and his sickness is
very
severe
till
that
no breath hath
been
left
in him.
Later
, the son of the woman who
owned
the house became
ill
, and his sickness grew
worse
and
worse,
until
no breath remained
in him.
And
she
saith
unto
Elijah, `
What --
to me and
to
thee,
O
man
of
God
? thou
hast
come unto
me
to cause
mine
iniquity to
be
remembered,
and to
put
my son to
death!'
“O
man
of
God,”
said
the
woman
to
Elijah, “
what have
you
done
to me? Have
you
come to remind
me
of
my
iniquity and cause
the
death
of
my son ?”
And
he
saith
unto
her, `
Give to
me thy
son ;'
and
he taketh
him out
of
her bosom
, and
taketh
him up
unto
the upper chamber
where he is
abiding
, and layeth
him on his own bed ,
But
Elijah
said
to
her, “
Give me your
son .”
So
he took
him from
her arms
, carried
him to
the upper room
where he was
staying
, and laid
him on his own bed .
and
crieth
unto
Jehovah,
and
saith
, `Jehovah
my God, also on the
widow with
whom
I
am
sojourning
hast
Thou
done
evil
--
to put
her son to death
? '
Then
he
cried
out
to
the
LORD
, “O
LORD
my God, have
You
also brought
tragedy
on this
widow who
has
opened
her
home
to me,
by
causing
her son to die
? ”
And
he stretcheth
himself out on
the lad
three times ,
and calleth
unto
Jehovah,
and
saith
, `
O Jehovah
my God, let turn
back,
I
pray
Thee,
the
soul
of
this lad
into
his
midst;'
Then
he stretched
himself out over
the child
three times and cried
out
to
the
LORD
, “
O LORD
my God, please
let this boy’s
life
return
to
him!”
and Jehovah
hearkeneth
to the voice of Elijah, and the soul
of
the
lad
turneth
back
into
his
midst
, and he liveth
.
And the
LORD
listened
to the voice of Elijah, and the child’s
life
returned
to
him
, and he lived
.
And
Elijah taketh
the lad
, and
bringeth
him down from the upper chamber
of
the house, and giveth
him to his mother ,
and
Elijah
saith,
`See
, thy
son liveth!'
Then
Elijah took
the child
, brought
him down from the upper room
into
the house, and gave
him to his mother .
“Look
, your
son is
alive,”
Elijah
declared.
And
the woman saith
unto
Elijah, `
Now ,
this
I have
known,
that a man of God thou
`art',
and the word of Jehovah
in
thy
mouth `
is '
truth. '
Then
the woman said
to
Elijah, “
Now I know
that you
are
a man of God and that
the word of the
LORD
from
your
mouth is truth. ”
