1Elijah the Tishbite, straight outta Gilead, told Ahab, “As the Lord God of Israel is alive, no dew or rain is happening for years, just my word, no cap.”

2Then the Lord hit him up, saying,

3“Dip outta here, head east, and chill by the brook Cherith, before Jordan.”

4“You’ll drink from the brook; I got the ravens on delivery duty to feed you there.”

5So he bounced and did what the Lord said, chilling by the brook Cherith, before Jordan.

6The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and evening; he was vibing with the brook.

7After a bit, the brook dried up, 'cause there was no rain in the land, fr.

8Then the Lord hit him up again, saying,

9“Get up, go to Zarephath, which is in Zidon, and stay there; I got a widow lined up to hook you up.”

10So he got up and went to Zarephath. When he hit the city gate, the widow was there gathering sticks, and he called out, “Yo, can you grab me some water in a vessel? I’m thirsty.”

11As she went to get it, he said, “Also, can you bring me a piece of bread?”

12She said, “As the Lord your God is alive, I don’t have a cake, just a handful of flour in a barrel and a bit of oil in a jar. I’m just gathering sticks to make a last meal for me and my son, then we’re done.”

13Elijah said, “No cap, don’t stress; go do what you said, but make me a little cake first, then make some for you and your son.”

14“For the Lord God of Israel says, the flour won’t run out, and the oil won’t fail until the day He sends rain on the earth.”

15She went and did what Elijah said; her, him, and her house ate for many days.

16The flour didn’t waste, and the oil didn’t fail, just like the Lord said through Elijah.

17After all that, the widow's son got super sick, like, no breath left in him, periodt.

18She said to Elijah, “What’s up with you, man of God? Did you come to remind me of my sins and take my son?”

19He said, “Give me your son.” He took him from her arms and carried him up to a loft, laid him on his own bed.

20He cried to the Lord, “O Lord my God, did you bring trouble on this widow I’m staying with by taking her son?”

21He stretched out on the child three times, cried to the Lord, “O Lord my God, please let this kid’s soul come back.”

22The Lord heard Elijah’s voice; the child’s soul came back, and he was alive, lit.

23Elijah took the child and brought him down to the house, gave him to his mom, and said, “Look, your son is alive!”

24The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know you’re a man of God, and the Lord’s word in your mouth is truth.”

1And 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.

2And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,

3Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.

4And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.

5So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.

6And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.

7And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.

8And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,

9Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.

10So 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.

11And 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.

12And 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.

13And 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.

14For 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.

15And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.

16And 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.

17And 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.

18And 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?

19And 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.

20And 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?

21And 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.

22And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.

23And 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.

24And 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.
