17:1

And Elijah
<0452>

the Tishbite
<08664>_,

[who was] of the inhabitants
<08453>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Ahab
<0256>_,

[As] the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

liveth
<02416>_,

before
<06440>

whom I stand
<05975> (8804)_,

there shall not be dew
<02919>

nor rain
<04306>

these years
<08141>_,

but according
<06310>

to my word
<01697>_.

{Elijah: Heb. Elijahu: Gr. Elias}

17:2

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

17:3

Get
<03212> (8798)

thee hence, and turn
<06437> (8804)

thee eastward
<06924>_,

and hide
<05641> (8738)

thyself by the brook
<05158>

Cherith
<03747>_,

that [is] before
<06440>

Jordan
<03383>_.

17:4

And it shall be, [that] thou shalt drink
<08354> (8799)

of the brook
<05158>_;

and I have commanded
<06680> (8765)

the ravens
<06158>

to feed
<03557> (8771)

thee there.

17:5

So he went
<03212> (8799)

and did
<06213> (8799)

according unto the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

for he went
<03212> (8799)

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

by the brook
<05158>

Cherith
<03747>_,

that [is] before
<06440>

Jordan
<03383>_.

17:6

And the ravens
<06158>

brought
<0935> (8688)

him bread
<03899>

and flesh
<01320>

in the morning
<01242>_,

and bread
<03899>

and flesh
<01320>

in the evening
<06153>_;

and he drank
<08354> (8799)

of the brook
<05158>_.

17:7

And it came to pass after
<07093>

a while
<03117>_,

that the brook
<05158>

dried up
<03001> (8799)_,

because there had been no rain
<01653>

in the land
<0776>_.

{after...: Heb. at the end of days}

17:8

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

17:9

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

get
<03212> (8798)

thee to Zarephath
<06886>_,

which [belongeth] to Zidon
<06721>_,

and dwell
<03427> (8804)

there: behold, I have commanded
<06680> (8765)

a widow
<0490>

woman
<0802>

there to sustain
<03557> (8771)

thee. {Zarephath: Gr. Sarepta}

17:10

So he arose
<06965> (8799)

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Zarephath
<06886>_.

And when he came
<0935> (8799)

to the gate
<06607>

of the city
<05892>_,

behold, the widow
<0490>

woman
<0802>

[was] there gathering
<07197> (8781)

of sticks
<06086>_:

and he called
<07121> (8799)

to her, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Fetch
<03947> (8798)

me, I pray thee, a little
<04592>

water
<04325>

in a vessel
<03627>_,

that I may drink
<08354> (8799)_.

17:11

And as she was going
<03212> (8799)

to fetch
<03947> (8800)

[it], he called
<07121> (8799)

to her, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Bring
<03947> (8798)

me, I pray thee, a morsel
<06595>

of bread
<03899>

in thine hand
<03027>_.

17:12

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

[As] the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

liveth
<02416>_,

I have
<03426>

not a cake
<04580>_,

but an handful
<04393> <03709>

of meal
<07058>

in a barrel
<03537>_,

and a little
<04592>

oil
<08081>

in a cruse
<06835>_:

and, behold, I [am] gathering
<07197> (8781)

two
<08147>

sticks
<06086>_,

that I may go in
<0935> (8804)

and dress
<06213> (8804)

it for me and my son
<01121>_,

that we may eat
<0398> (8804)

it, and die
<04191> (8804)_.

17:13

And Elijah
<0452>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Fear
<03372> (8799)

not; go
<0935> (8798)

[and] do
<06213> (8798)

as thou hast said
<01697>_:

but make
<06213> (8798)

me thereof
<08033>

a little
<06996>

cake
<05692>

first
<07223>_,

and bring
<03318> (8689)

[it] unto me, and after
<0314>

make
<06213> (8799)

for thee and for thy son
<01121>_.

17:14

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

The barrel
<03537>

of meal
<07058>

shall not waste
<03615> (8799)_,

neither shall the cruse
<06835>

of oil
<08081>

fail
<02637> (8799)_,

until the day
<03117>

[that] the LORD
<03068>

sendeth
<05414> (8800)

rain
<01653>

upon
<06440>

the earth
<0127>_.

{sendeth: Heb. giveth}

17:15

And she went
<03212> (8799)

and did
<06213> (8799)

according to the saying
<01697>

of Elijah
<0452>_:

and she, and he, and her house
<01004>_,

did eat
<0398> (8799)

[many] days
<03117>_.

{many...: or, a full year}

17:16

[And] the barrel
<03537>

of meal
<07058>

wasted
<03615> (8804)

not, neither did the cruse
<06835>

of oil
<08081>

fail
<02638>_,

according to the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which he spake
<01696> (8765)

by
<03027>

Elijah
<0452>_.

{by: Heb. by the hand of}

17:17

And it came to pass after
<0310>

these things
<01697>_,

[that] the son
<01121>

of the woman
<0802>_,

the mistress
<01172>

of the house
<01004>_,

fell sick
<02470> (8804)_;

and his sickness
<02483>

was so
<03966>

sore
<02389>_,

that there was no breath
<05397>

left
<03498> (8738)

in him.

17:18

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto Elijah
<0452>_,

What have I to do with thee, O thou man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_?

art thou come
<0935> (8804)

unto me to call
<02142> (0)

my sin
<05771>

to remembrance
<02142> (8687)_,

and to slay
<04191> (8687)

my son
<01121>_?

17:19

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Give
<05414> (8798)

me thy son
<01121>_.

And he took
<03947> (8799)

him out of her bosom
<02436>_,

and carried him up
<05927> (8686)

into a loft
<05944>_,

where he abode
<03427> (8802)_,

and laid
<07901> (8686)

him upon his own bed
<04296>_.
