Kings III 17
1 And Eliu the prophet, the Thesbite of Thesbae of Galaad, said to Achaab, As the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be these years dew nor rain, except by the word of my mouth.
And he said Elijah the Tishbite one of [the] resident aliens of Gilead to Ahab [by] [the] life of Yahweh [the] God of Israel whom I stand before him if it will be the years these dew and rain that except to [the] mouth of word my.
2 And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, [saying],
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to him saying.
3 Depart hence eastward, and hide you by the brook of Chorrath, that is before Jordan.
Go from here and you will turn yourself east-ward and you will hide yourself at [the] wadi of Kerith which [is] on [the] face of the Jordan.
4 And it shall be [that] you shall drink water of the brook, and I will charge the ravens to feed you there.
And it will be from the wadi you will drink and the ravens I have commanded to supply you there.
5 And Eliu did according to the word of the Lord, and he sat by the brook of Chorrath before Jordan.
And he went and he did according to [the] word of Yahweh and he went and he dwelt at [the] wadi of Kerith which [is] on [the] face of the Jordan.
6 And the ravens brought him loaves in the morning, and flesh in the evening and he drank water of the brook.
And the ravens [were] bringing to him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening and from the wadi he drank.
7 And it came to pass after some time, that the brook was dried up, because there had been no rain upon the earth.
And it was from [the] end of days and it dried up the wadi for not it had been rain in the land.
8 And the word of the Lord came to Eliu, [saying],
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to him saying.
9 Arise, and go to Sarepta of the Sidonian [land]: behold, I have there commanded a widow-woman to maintain you.
Arise go Zarephath towards which [belongs] to Sidon and you will dwell there here! I have commanded there a woman a widow to supply you.
10 And he arose and went to Sarepta, and came to the gate of the city: and, behold, a widow-woman was there gathering sticks; and Eliu cried after her, and said to her, Fetch me, I pray you, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
And he arose - and he went Zarephath towards and he came to [the] entrance of the city and there! there a woman a widow [was] gathering wood and he called out to her and he said get please for me a little of water in vessel so I may drink.
11 And she went to fetch it; and Eliu cried after her, and said, Bring me, I pray you, a morsel of the bread that is in your hand.
And she went to get [it] and he called out to her and he said get please for me a piece of bread in hand your.
12 And the woman said, [As] the Lord your God lives, I have not a cake, but only a handful of meal in the pitcher, and a little oil in a cruse, and, behold, I am going to gather two sticks, and I shall go in and dress it for myself and my children, and we shall eat it and die.
And she said [by] [the] life of Yahweh God your if there to me [is] food that except [the] fullness of a palm of flour in jar and a little of oil in jug and here I [am] gathering two wood and I will go and I will prepare it for myself and for son my and we will eat it and we will die.
13 And Eliu said to her, Be of good courage, go in and do according to your word: but make me thereof a little cake, and you shall bring [it] out to me first, and you shall make [some] for yourself and your children last.
And he said to her Elijah may not you fear go do according to word your only make for me from there a bread cake small at first and you will bring [it] out to me and for yourself and for son your you will prepare at the last.
14 For thus says the Lord, The pitcher of meal shall not fail, and the cruse of oil shall not diminish, until the day that the Lord gives rain upon the earth.
For thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel [the] jar of flour not it will be at an end and [the] jug of oil not it will be lacking until [the] day (gives *Q(k)*) Yahweh rain on [the] surface of the ground.
15 And the woman went and did [so], and did eat, she, and he, and her children.
And she went and she did according to [the] word of Elijah and she ate (she and he *Q(K)*) and household her days.
16 And the pitcher of meal failed not, and the cruse of oil was not diminished, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by the hand of Eliu.
[the] jar of Flour not it was at an end and [the] jug of oil not it was lacking according to [the] word of Yahweh which he spoke by [the] hand of Elijah.
17 And it came to pass afterward, that the son of the woman the mistress of the house was sick; and his sickness was very severe, until there was no breath left in him.
And it was after the things these he became sick [the] son of the woman [the] mistress of the house and it was sickness his severe very until that not it was left in him breath.
18 And she said to Eliu, What have I to do with you, O man of God? have you come in to me to bring my sins to remembrance, and to kill my son?
And she said to Elijah what? [is] to me and to you O man of God you have come to me to bring to remembrance iniquity my and to put to death son my.
19 And Eliu said to the woman, Give me your son. And he took him out of her bosom, and took him up to the chamber in which he himself lodged, and laid him on the bed.
And he said to her give to me son your and he took him from bosom her and he took up him to the upper room where he [was] dwelling there and he made lie him on bed his.
20 And Eliu cried aloud, and said, Alas, O Lord, the witness of the widow with whom I sojourn, you have wrought evil [for her] in slaying her son.
And he called out to Yahweh and he said O Yahweh God my ¿ also on the widow whom I [am] staying as a sojourner with her have you done harm by putting to death son her.
21 And he breathed on the child thrice, and called on the Lord, and said, O Lord my God, let, I pray you, the soul of this child return to him.
And he stretched himself over the lad three times and he called out to Yahweh and he said O Yahweh God my let it return please [the] life of the lad this to inward part[s] his.
22 And it was so, and the child cried out,
And he listened Yahweh to [the] voice of Elijah and it returned [the] life of the lad to inward part[s] his and he lived.
23 and he brought him down from the upper chamber into the house, and gave him to his mother; and Eliu said, See, your son lives.
And he took Elijah the lad and he brought down him from the upper room the house towards and he gave him to mother his and he said Elijah see [is] alive son your.
24 And the woman said to Eliu, Behold, I know that you [are] a man of God, and the word of the Lord in your mouth [is] true.
And she said the woman to Elijah now this I know that [are] a man of God you and [the] word of Yahweh in mouth your [is] truth.
