1 Kings 17:12-24

12But she said, “1As the Lord your God lives, 2I have no food, only a handful of flour in the 3bowl and a little oil in the jar; and behold, I am gathering 4a few sticks so that I may go in and prepare it for me and my son, so that we may 5eat it and 6die.” 13However, Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go, do as you have said. Just make me a little bread loaf from 7it first and bring it out to me, and afterward you may make one for yourself and for your son. 14For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel says: ‘The 8bowl of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil become empty, until the day that the Lord provides rain on the face of the earth.’” 15So she went and did everything in accordance with the word of Elijah, and she and he and her household ate for many days. 16The 9bowl of flour was not used up, nor did the jar of oil become empty, in accordance with the word of the Lord which He spoke through Elijah.

17Now it happened after these things that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick; and his 10condition became very grave, until at the end 11he was no longer breathing. 18So she said to Elijah, “1213Why is my business any of yours, you 14man of God? Yet you have come to me to bring my wrongdoing to remembrance, and to put my son to death!” 19But he said to her, “Give me your son.” Then he took him from her 15arms and carried him up to the upstairs room where he was living, and laid him on his own bed. 20And he called to the Lord and said, “Lord, my God, have You also brought catastrophe upon the widow with whom I am 16staying, by causing her son to die?” 2117Then he stretched himself out over the boy three times, and called to the Lord and said, “Lord, my God, please, let this boy’s life return 18to him.” 22And the Lord listened to the voice of Elijah, 19and the life of the boy returned 20to him and he revived. 23Elijah then took the boy and brought him down from the upstairs room into the house and gave him to his mother; and Elijah said, “See, your son is alive.” 24Then the woman said to Elijah, “21Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth.”
