1Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was among the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there will be neither dew nor rain in these years except at my word!”Elijah the Tishbite, who was one of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.”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.And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the sojourners of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As Jehovah, the God of Israel, liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.2Then a revelation from the LORD came to Elijah:Then Yahweh’s word came to him, saying,And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,And the word of Jehovah came unto him, saying,3“Leave here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.“Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.4And you are to drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”You shall drink from the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.5So Elijah did what the LORD had told him, and he went and lived by the Brook of Cherith, east of the Jordan.So he went and did according to Yahweh’s word, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan.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.So he went and did according unto the word of Jehovah; for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.6The ravens would bring him bread and meat in the morning and evening, and he would drink from the brook.The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.7Some time later, however, the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.After a while, the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.8Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah:Yahweh’s word came to him, saying,And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,And the word of Jehovah came unto him, saying,9“Get up and go to Zarephath of Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.”“Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.”Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Sidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain thee.10So 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.”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.”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.So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering 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 get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a piece of bread.”As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”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.And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand.12But 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.”She said, “As Yahweh your God lives, I don’t have anything baked, but only a handful of meal in a jar and a little oil in a jar. Behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.”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.And she said, As Jehovah thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but a handful of meal in the jar, and a little oil in the 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“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,Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go and do as you have said; but make me a little cake from it first, and bring it out to me, and afterward make some for you and for your son.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.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 forth unto me, and afterward make for thee and for thy son.14for 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.’”For Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘The jar of meal will not run out, and the jar of oil will not fail, until the day that Yahweh sends rain on the earth.’”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.For thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, The jar of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that Jehovah sendeth rain upon the earth.15So she went and did according to the word of Elijah, and there was food every day for Elijah and the woman and her household.She went and did according to the saying of Elijah; and she, he, and her household ate many days.And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.16The 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.The jar of meal didn’t run out and the jar of oil didn’t fail, according to Yahweh’s word, which he spoke by Elijah.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.The jar of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spake by Elijah.17Later, the son of the woman who owned the house became ill, and his sickness grew worse and worse, until no breath remained in him.After these things, the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick; and his sickness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.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.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“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?”She said to Elijah, “What have I to do with you, you man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to memory, and to kill my son!”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?And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? thou art come unto me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son!19But 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.He said to her, “Give me your son.” He took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the room where he stayed, and laid him on his own bed.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.And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the chamber, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.20Then 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?”He cried to Yahweh and said, “Yahweh my God, have you also brought evil on the widow with whom I am staying, by killing her son?”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?And he cried unto Jehovah, and said, O Jehovah my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?21Then 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!”He stretched himself on the child three times, and cried to Yahweh and said, “Yahweh my God, please let this child’s soul come into him again.”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.And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto Jehovah, and said, O Jehovah my God, I pray thee, let this child’s soul come into him again.22And the LORD listened to the voice of Elijah, and the child’s life returned to him, and he lived.Yahweh listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.And Jehovah hearkened unto the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.23Then 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.Elijah took the child and brought him down out of the room into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, “Behold, your son lives.”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.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.24Then 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.”The woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that Yahweh’s word in your mouth is truth.”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.And the woman said to Elijah, Now I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of Jehovah in thy mouth is truth.
