WEB·1 Kings 18

¹After many days, Yahweh’s word came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, “Go, show yourself to Ahab; and I will send rain on the earth.”

KJVAnd it came to pass after many^H7227 days^H3117, that the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came to Elijah^H452 in the third^H7992 year^H8141, saying^H559^(H8800), Go^H3212^(H8798), shew^H7200^(H8734) thyself unto Ahab^H256; and I will send^H5414^(H8799) rain^H4306 upon^H6440 the earth^H127.

² Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. The famine was severe in Samaria.

KJVAnd Elijah^H452 went^H3212^(H8799) to shew^H7200^(H8736) himself unto Ahab^H256. And there was a sore^H2389 famine^H7458 in Samaria^H8111.

³ Ahab called Obadiah, who was over the household. (Now Obadiah feared Yahweh greatly;

KJVAnd Ahab^H256 called^H7121^(H8799) Obadiah^H5662, which was the governor of his house^H1004.(Now Obadiah^H5662 feared^H3373 the LORD^H3068 greatly^H3966:

⁴ for when Jezebel cut off Yahweh’s prophets, Obadiah took one hundred prophets, and hid them fifty to a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)

KJVFor it was so, when Jezebel^H348 cut off^H3772^(H8687) the prophets^H5030 of the LORD^H3068, that Obadiah^H5662 took^H3947^(H8799) an hundred^H3967 prophets^H5030, and hid^H2244^(H8686) them by fifty^H376^H2572 in a cave^H4631, and fed^H3557^(H8773) them with bread^H3899 and water^H4325.)

⁵ Ahab said to Obadiah, “Go through the land, to all the springs of water, and to all the brooks. Perhaps we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we not lose all the animals.”

KJVAnd Ahab^H256 said^H559^(H8799) unto Obadiah^H5662, Go^H3212^(H8798) into the land^H776, unto all fountains^H4599 of water^H4325, and unto all brooks^H5158: peradventure^H194 we may find^H4672^(H8799) grass^H2682 to save^H2421^(H8762) the horses^H5483 and mules^H6505 alive^H2421^(H8762), that we lose^H3772^(H8686) not all the beasts^H929.

⁶ So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it. Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.

KJVSo they divided^H2505^(H8762) the land^H776 between them to pass throughout^H5674^(H8800) it: Ahab^H256 went^H1980^(H8804) one^H259 way^H1870 by himself, and Obadiah^H5662 went^H1980^(H8804) another^H259 way^H1870 by himself.

⁷ As Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him. He recognized him, and fell on his face, and said, “Is it you, my lord Elijah?”

KJVAnd as Obadiah^H5662 was in the way^H1870, behold, Elijah^H452 met^H7125^(H8800) him: and he knew^H5234^(H8686) him, and fell^H5307^(H8799) on his face^H6440, and said^H559^(H8799), Art thou that my lord^H113 Elijah^H452?

⁸ He answered him, “It is I. Go, tell your lord, ‘Behold, Elijah is here!’”

KJVAnd he answered^H559^(H8799) him, I am: go^H3212^(H8798), tell^H559^(H8798) thy lord^H113, Behold, Elijah^H452 is here.

⁹ He said, “How have I sinned, that you would deliver your servant into the hand of Ahab, to kill me?

KJVAnd he said^H559^(H8799), What have I sinned^H2398^(H8804), that thou wouldest deliver^H5414^(H8802) thy servant^H5650 into the hand^H3027 of Ahab^H256, to slay^H4191^(H8687) me?

¹⁰ As Yahweh your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent to seek you. When they said, ‘He is not here,’ he took an oath of the kingdom and nation that they didn’t find you.

KJVAs the LORD^H3068 thy God^H430 liveth^H2416, there is no^H3426 nation^H1471 or kingdom^H4467, whither^H834 my lord^H113 hath not sent^H7971^(H8804) to seek^H1245^(H8763) thee: and when they said^H559^(H8804), He is not there; he took an oath^H7650^(H8689) of the kingdom^H4467 and nation^H1471, that they found^H4672^(H8799) thee not.

¹¹ Now you say, ‘Go, tell your lord, “Behold, Elijah is here.”’

KJVAnd now thou sayest^H559^(H8802), Go^H3212^(H8798), tell^H559^(H8798) thy lord^H113, Behold, Elijah^H452 is here.

¹² It will happen, as soon as I leave you, that Yahweh’s Spirit will carry you I don’t know where; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he can’t find you, he will kill me. But I, your servant, have feared Yahweh from my youth.

KJVAnd it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone^H3212^(H8799) from thee, that the Spirit^H7307 of the LORD^H3068 shall carry^H5375^(H8799) thee whither I know^H3045^(H8799) not; and so when I come^H935^(H8804) and tell^H5046^(H8687) Ahab^H256, and he cannot find^H4672^(H8799) thee, he shall slay^H2026^(H8804) me: but I thy servant^H5650 fear^H3372^(H8804) the LORD^H3068 from my youth^H5271.

¹³ Wasn’t it told my lord what I did when Jezebel killed Yahweh’s prophets, how I hid one hundred men of Yahweh’s prophets with fifty to a cave, and fed them with bread and water?

KJVWas it not told^H5046^(H8717) my lord^H113 what I did^H6213^(H8804) when Jezebel^H348 slew^H2026^(H8800) the prophets^H5030 of the LORD^H3068, how I hid^H2244^(H8686) an hundred^H3967 men^H376 of the LORD'S^H3068 prophets^H5030 by fifty^H2572 in a cave^H4631, and fed^H3557^(H8770) them with bread^H3899 and water^H4325?

¹⁴ Now you say, ‘Go, tell your lord, “Behold, Elijah is here”.’ He will kill me.”

KJVAnd now thou sayest^H559^(H8802), Go^H3212^(H8798), tell^H559^(H8798) thy lord^H113, Behold, Elijah^H452 is here: and he shall slay^H2026^(H8804) me.

¹⁵ Elijah said, “As Yahweh of Armies lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him today.”

KJVAnd Elijah^H452 said^H559^(H8799), As the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635 liveth^H2416, before^H6440 whom I stand^H5975^(H8804), I will surely shew^H7200^(H8735) myself unto him to day^H3117.

¹⁶ So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.

KJVSo Obadiah^H5662 went^H3212^(H8799) to meet^H7125^(H8800) Ahab^H256, and told^H5046^(H8686) him: and Ahab^H256 went^H3212^(H8799) to meet^H7125^(H8800) Elijah^H452.

¹⁷ When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, “Is that you, you troubler of Israel?”

KJVAnd it came to pass, when Ahab^H256 saw^H7200^(H8800) Elijah^H452, that Ahab^H256 said^H559^(H8799) unto him, Art thou he that troubleth^H5916^(H8802) Israel^H3478?

¹⁸ He answered, “I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house, in that you have forsaken Yahweh’s commandments and you have followed the Baals.

KJVAnd he answered^H559^(H8799), I have not troubled^H5916^(H8804) Israel^H3478; but thou, and thy father's^H1 house^H1004, in that ye have forsaken^H5800^(H8800) the commandments^H4687 of the LORD^H3068, and thou hast followed^H3212^(H8799)^H310 Baalim^H1168.

¹⁹ Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel to Mount Carmel, and four hundred fifty of the prophets of Baal, and four hundred of the prophets of the Asherah, who eat at Jezebel’s table.”

KJVNow therefore send^H7971^(H8798), and gather^H6908^(H8798) to me all Israel^H3478 unto mount^H2022 Carmel^H3760, and the prophets^H5030 of Baal^H1168 four^H702 hundred^H3967 and fifty^H2572, and the prophets^H5030 of the groves^H842 four^H702 hundred^H3967, which eat^H398^(H8802) at Jezebel's^H348 table^H7979.

²⁰ So Ahab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together to Mount Carmel.

KJVSo Ahab^H256 sent^H7971^(H8799) unto all the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, and gathered^H6908 the prophets^H5030 together^H6908^(H8799) unto mount^H2022 Carmel^H3760.

²¹ Elijah came near to all the people, and said, “How long will you waver between the two sides? If Yahweh is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” The people didn’t say a word.

KJVAnd Elijah^H452 came^H5066^(H8799) unto all the people^H5971, and said^H559^(H8799), How long^H5921 halt^H6452^(H8802) ye between two^H8147 opinions^H5587? if the LORD^H3068 be God^H430, follow him: but if Baal^H1168, then follow^H3212^(H8798)^H310 him. And the people^H5971 answered^H6030^(H8804) him not a word^H1697.

²² Then Elijah said to the people, “I, even I only, am left as a prophet of Yahweh; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred fifty men.

KJVThen said^H559^(H8799) Elijah^H452 unto the people^H5971, I, even I only, remain^H3498^(H8738) a prophet^H5030 of the LORD^H3068; but Baal's^H1168 prophets^H5030 are four^H702 hundred^H3967 and fifty^H2572 men^H376.

²³ Let them therefore give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under; and I will dress the other bull, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under it.

KJVLet them therefore give^H5414^(H8799) us two^H8147 bullocks^H6499; and let them choose^H977^(H8799) one^H259 bullock^H6499 for themselves, and cut it in pieces^H5408^(H8762), and lay^H7760^(H8799) it on wood^H6086, and put^H7760^(H8799) no fire^H784 under: and I will dress^H6213^(H8799) the other^H259 bullock^H6499, and lay^H5414^(H8804) it on wood^H6086, and put^H7760^(H8799) no fire^H784 under:

²⁴ You call on the name of your god, and I will call on Yahweh’s name. The God who answers by fire, let him be God.” All the people answered, “What you say is good.”

KJVAnd call^H7121^(H8804) ye on the name^H8034 of your gods^H430, and I will call^H7121^(H8799) on the name^H8034 of the LORD^H3068: and the God^H430 that answereth^H6030^(H8799) by fire^H784, let him be God^H430. And all the people^H5971 answered^H6030^(H8799) and said^H559^(H8799), It is well^H2896 spoken^H1697.

²⁵ Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose one bull for yourselves, and dress it first, for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it.”

KJVAnd Elijah^H452 said^H559^(H8799) unto the prophets^H5030 of Baal^H1168, Choose^H977^(H8798) you one^H259 bullock^H6499 for yourselves, and dress^H6213^(H8798) it first^H7223; for ye are many^H7227; and call^H7121^(H8798) on the name^H8034 of your gods^H430, but put^H7760^(H8799) no fire^H784 under.

²⁶ They took the bull which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, “Baal, hear us!” But there was no voice, and nobody answered. They leaped about the altar which was made.

KJVAnd they took^H3947^(H8799) the bullock^H6499 which was given^H5414^(H8804) them, and they dressed^H6213^(H8799) it, and called^H7121^(H8799) on the name^H8034 of Baal^H1168 from morning^H1242 even until noon^H6672, saying^H559^(H8800), O Baal^H1168, hear^H6030^(H8798) us. But there was no^H369 voice^H6963, nor any that answered^H6030^(H8802). And they leaped^H6452^(H8762) upon the altar^H4196 which was made^H6213^(H8804).

²⁷ At noon, Elijah mocked them, and said, “Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is deep in thought, or he has gone somewhere, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he sleeps and must be awakened.”

KJVAnd it came to pass at noon^H6672, that Elijah^H452 mocked^H2048^(H8762) them, and said^H559^(H8799), Cry^H7121^(H8798) aloud^H1419^H6963: for he is a god^H430; either he is talking^H7879, or he is pursuing^H7873, or he is in a journey^H1870, or peradventure^H194 he sleepeth^H3463, and must be awaked^H3364^(H8799).

²⁸ They cried aloud, and cut themselves in their way with knives and lances until the blood gushed out on them.

KJVAnd they cried^H7121^(H8799) aloud^H6963^H1419, and cut^H1413^(H8704) themselves after their manner^H4941 with knives^H2719 and lancets^H7420, till the blood^H1818 gushed out^H8210^(H8800) upon them.

²⁹ When midday was past, they prophesied until the time of the evening offering; but there was no voice, no answer, and nobody paid attention.

KJVAnd it came to pass, when midday^H6672 was past^H5674^(H8800), and they prophesied^H5012^(H8691) until the time of the offering^H5927^(H8800) of the evening sacrifice^H4503, that there was neither voice^H6963, nor any to answer^H6030^(H8802), nor any that regarded^H7182.

³⁰ Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me!”; and all the people came near to him. He repaired Yahweh’s altar that had been thrown down.

KJVAnd Elijah^H452 said^H559^(H8799) unto all the people^H5971, Come near^H5066^(H8798) unto me. And all the people^H5971 came near^H5066^(H8799) unto him. And he repaired^H7495^(H8762) the altar^H4196 of the LORD^H3068 that was broken down^H2040^(H8803).

³¹ Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom Yahweh’s word came, saying, “Israel shall be your name.”

KJVAnd Elijah^H452 took^H3947^(H8799) twelve^H8147^H6240 stones^H68, according to the number^H4557 of the tribes^H7626 of the sons^H1121 of Jacob^H3290, unto whom the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came, saying^H559^(H8800), Israel^H3478 shall be thy name^H8034:

³² With the stones he built an altar in Yahweh’s name. He made a trench around the altar large enough to contain two seahs of seed.

KJVAnd with the stones^H68 he built^H1129^(H8799) an altar^H4196 in the name^H8034 of the LORD^H3068: and he made^H6213^(H8799) a trench^H8585 about^H5439 the altar^H4196, as great as would contain^H1004 two measures^H5429 of seed^H2233.

³³ He put the wood in order, and cut the bull in pieces and laid it on the wood. He said, “Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood.”

KJVAnd he put^H6186 the wood^H6086 in order^H6186^(H8799), and cut^H5408^(H8762) the bullock^H6499 in pieces, and laid^H7760^(H8799) him on the wood^H6086, and said^H559^(H8799), Fill^H4390^(H8798) four^H702 barrels^H3537 with water^H4325, and pour^H3332^(H8798) it on the burnt sacrifice^H5930, and on the wood^H6086.

³⁴ He said, “Do it a second time;” and they did it the second time. He said, “Do it a third time;” and they did it the third time.

KJVAnd he said^H559^(H8799), Do it the second time^H8138^(H8798). And they did it the second time^H8138^(H8799). And he said^H559^(H8799), Do it the third time^H8027^(H8761). And they did it the third time^H8027^(H8762).

³⁵ The water ran around the altar; and he also filled the trench with water.

KJVAnd the water^H4325 ran^H3212^(H8799) round about^H5439 the altar^H4196; and he filled^H4390^(H8765) the trench^H8585 also with water^H4325.

³⁶ At the time of the evening offering, Elijah the prophet came near and said, “Yahweh, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word.

KJVAnd it came to pass at the time of the offering^H5927^(H8800) of the evening sacrifice^H4503, that Elijah^H452 the prophet^H5030 came near^H5066^(H8799), and said^H559^(H8799), LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Abraham^H85, Isaac^H3327, and of Israel^H3478, let it be known^H3045^(H8735) this day^H3117 that thou art God^H430 in Israel^H3478, and that I am thy servant^H5650, and that I have done^H6213^(H8804) all these things at thy word^H1697.

³⁷ Hear me, Yahweh, hear me, that this people may know that you, Yahweh, are God, and that you have turned their heart back again.”

KJVHear^H6030^(H8798) me, O LORD^H3068, hear^H6030^(H8798) me, that this people^H5971 may know^H3045^(H8799) that thou art the LORD^H3068 God^H430, and that thou hast turned^H5437 their heart^H3820 back^H5437^(H8689) again^H322.

³⁸ Then Yahweh’s fire fell and consumed the burnt offering, the wood, the stones, and the dust; and it licked up the water that was in the trench.

KJVThen the fire^H784 of the LORD^H3068 fell^H5307^(H8799), and consumed^H398^(H8799) the burnt sacrifice^H5930, and the wood^H6086, and the stones^H68, and the dust^H6083, and licked up^H3897^(H8765) the water^H4325 that was in the trench^H8585.

³⁹ When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces. They said, “Yahweh, he is God! Yahweh, he is God!”

KJVAnd when all the people^H5971 saw^H7200^(H8799) it, they fell^H5307^(H8799) on their faces^H6440: and they said^H559^(H8799), The LORD^H3068, he is the God^H430; the LORD^H3068, he is the God^H430.

⁴⁰ Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal! Don’t let one of them escape!” They seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and killed them there.

KJVAnd Elijah^H452 said^H559^(H8799) unto them, Take^H8610^(H8798) the prophets^H5030 of Baal^H1168; let not one^H376 of them escape^H4422^(H8735). And they took^H8610^(H8799) them: and Elijah^H452 brought them down^H3381^(H8686) to the brook^H5158 Kishon^H7028, and slew^H7819^(H8799) them there.

⁴¹ Elijah said to Ahab, “Get up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.”

KJVAnd Elijah^H452 said^H559^(H8799) unto Ahab^H256, Get thee up^H5927^(H8798), eat^H398^(H8798) and drink^H8354^(H8798); for there is a sound^H6963 of abundance^H1995 of rain^H1653.

⁴² So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed himself down on the earth, and put his face between his knees.

KJVSo Ahab^H256 went up^H5927^(H8799) to eat^H398^(H8800) and to drink^H8354^(H8800). And Elijah^H452 went up^H5927^(H8804) to the top^H7218 of Carmel^H3760; and he cast himself down^H1457^(H8799) upon the earth^H776, and put^H7760^(H8799) his face^H6440 between his knees^H1290,

⁴³ He said to his servant, “Go up now and look toward the sea.” He went up and looked, then said, “There is nothing.” He said, “Go again” seven times.

KJVAnd said^H559^(H8799) to his servant^H5288, Go up^H5927^(H8798) now, look^H5027^(H8685) toward^H1870 the sea^H3220. And he went up^H5927^(H8799), and looked^H5027^(H8686), and said^H559^(H8799), There is nothing^H3972. And he said^H559^(H8799), Go again^H7725^(H8798) seven^H7651 times^H6471.

⁴⁴ On the seventh time, he said, “Behold, a small cloud, like a man’s hand, is rising out of the sea.” He said, “Go up, tell Ahab, ‘Get ready and go down, so that the rain doesn’t stop you.’”

KJVAnd it came to pass at the seventh time^H7637, that he said^H559^(H8799), Behold, there ariseth^H5927^(H8802) a little^H6996 cloud^H5645 out of the sea^H3220, like a man's^H376 hand^H3709. And he said^H559^(H8799), Go up^H5927^(H8798), say^H559^(H8798) unto Ahab^H256, Prepare^H631^(H8798) thy chariot, and get thee down^H3381^(H8798), that the rain^H1653 stop^H6113^(H8799) thee not.

⁴⁵ In a little while, the sky grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.

KJVAnd it came to pass in the mean while^H3541, that the heaven^H8064 was black^H6937^(H8694) with clouds^H5645 and wind^H7307, and there was a great^H1419 rain^H1653. And Ahab^H256 rode^H7392^(H8799), and went^H3212^(H8799) to Jezreel^H3157.

⁴⁶ Yahweh’s hand was on Elijah; and he tucked his cloak into his belt and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

KJVAnd the hand^H3027 of the LORD^H3068 was on Elijah^H452; and he girded up^H8151^(H8762) his loins^H4975, and ran^H7323^(H8799) before^H6440 Ahab^H256 to the entrance^H935^(H8800) of Jezreel^H3157.

¹Elijah 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.”

KJVAnd Elijah^H452 the Tishbite^H8664, who was of the inhabitants^H8453 of Gilead^H1568, said^H559^(H8799) unto Ahab^H256, As the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478 liveth^H2416, before^H6440 whom I stand^H5975^(H8804), there shall not be dew^H2919 nor rain^H4306 these years^H8141, but according^H6310 to my word^H1697.

² Then Yahweh’s word came to him, saying,

KJVAnd the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto him, saying^H559^(H8800),

³ “Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.

KJVGet^H3212^(H8798) thee hence, and turn^H6437^(H8804) thee eastward^H6924, and hide^H5641^(H8738) thyself by the brook^H5158 Cherith^H3747, that is before^H6440 Jordan^H3383.

⁴ You shall drink from the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”

KJVAnd it shall be, that thou shalt drink^H8354^(H8799) of the brook^H5158; and I have commanded^H6680^(H8765) the ravens^H6158 to feed^H3557^(H8771) thee there.

⁵ So he went and did according to Yahweh’s word, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan.

KJVSo he went^H3212^(H8799) and did^H6213^(H8799) according unto the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068: for he went^H3212^(H8799) and dwelt^H3427^(H8799) by the brook^H5158 Cherith^H3747, that is before^H6440 Jordan^H3383.

⁶ The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.

KJVAnd the ravens^H6158 brought^H935^(H8688) him bread^H3899 and flesh^H1320 in the morning^H1242, and bread^H3899 and flesh^H1320 in the evening^H6153; and he drank^H8354^(H8799) of the brook^H5158.

⁷ After a while, the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.

KJVAnd it came to pass after^H7093 a while^H3117, that the brook^H5158 dried up^H3001^(H8799), because there had been no rain^H1653 in the land^H776.

⁸ Yahweh’s word came to him, saying,

KJVAnd the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto him, saying^H559^(H8800),

⁹ “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.”

KJVArise^H6965^(H8798), get^H3212^(H8798) thee to Zarephath^H6886, which belongeth to Zidon^H6721, and dwell^H3427^(H8804) there: behold, I have commanded^H6680^(H8765) a widow^H490 woman^H802 there to sustain^H3557^(H8771) thee.

¹⁰ 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.”

KJVSo he arose^H6965^(H8799) and went^H3212^(H8799) to Zarephath^H6886. And when he came^H935^(H8799) to the gate^H6607 of the city^H5892, behold, the widow^H490 woman^H802 was there gathering^H7197^(H8781) of sticks^H6086: and he called^H7121^(H8799) to her, and said^H559^(H8799), Fetch^H3947^(H8798) me, I pray thee, a little^H4592 water^H4325 in a vessel^H3627, that I may drink^H8354^(H8799).

¹¹ As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”

KJVAnd as she was going^H3212^(H8799) to fetch^H3947^(H8800) it, he called^H7121^(H8799) to her, and said^H559^(H8799), Bring^H3947^(H8798) me, I pray thee, a morsel^H6595 of bread^H3899 in thine hand^H3027.

¹² 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.”

KJVAnd she said^H559^(H8799), As the LORD^H3068 thy God^H430 liveth^H2416, I have^H3426 not a cake^H4580, but an handful^H4393^H3709 of meal^H7058 in a barrel^H3537, and a little^H4592 oil^H8081 in a cruse^H6835: and, behold, I am gathering^H7197^(H8781) two^H8147 sticks^H6086, that I may go in^H935^(H8804) and dress^H6213^(H8804) it for me and my son^H1121, that we may eat^H398^(H8804) it, and die^H4191^(H8804).

¹³ 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.

KJVAnd Elijah^H452 said^H559^(H8799) unto her, Fear^H3372^(H8799) not; go^H935^(H8798) and do^H6213^(H8798) as thou hast said^H1697: but make^H6213^(H8798) me thereof^H8033 a little^H6996 cake^H5692 first^H7223, and bring^H3318^(H8689) it unto me, and after^H314 make^H6213^(H8799) for thee and for thy son^H1121.

¹⁴ 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.’”

KJVFor thus saith^H559^(H8804) the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478, The barrel^H3537 of meal^H7058 shall not waste^H3615^(H8799), neither shall the cruse^H6835 of oil^H8081 fail^H2637^(H8799), until the day^H3117 that the LORD^H3068 sendeth^H5414^(H8800) rain^H1653 upon^H6440 the earth^H127.

KJVAnd the barrel^H3537 of meal^H7058 wasted^H3615^(H8804) not, neither did the cruse^H6835 of oil^H8081 fail^H2638, according to the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068, which he spake^H1696^(H8765) by^H3027 Elijah^H452.

¹⁷ 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.

¹⁸ 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!”

KJVAnd she said^H559^(H8799) unto Elijah^H452, What have I to do with thee, O thou man^H376 of God^H430? art thou come^H935^(H8804) unto me to call^H2142 my sin^H5771 to remembrance^H2142^(H8687), and to slay^H4191^(H8687) my son^H1121?

KJVAnd he said^H559^(H8799) unto her, Give^H5414^(H8798) me thy son^H1121. And he took^H3947^(H8799) him out of her bosom^H2436, and carried him up^H5927^(H8686) into a loft^H5944, where he abode^H3427^(H8802), and laid^H7901^(H8686) him upon his own bed^H4296.

²⁰ 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?”

KJVAnd he cried^H7121^(H8799) unto the LORD^H3068, and said^H559^(H8799), O LORD^H3068 my God^H430, hast thou also brought evil^H7489^(H8689) upon the widow^H490 with whom I sojourn^H1481^(H8711), by slaying^H4191^(H8687) her son^H1121?

²¹ 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.”

KJVAnd he stretched^H4058^(H8709) himself upon the child^H3206 three^H7969 times^H6471, and cried^H7121^(H8799) unto the LORD^H3068, and said^H559^(H8799), O LORD^H3068 my God^H430, I pray thee, let this child's^H3206 soul^H5315 come^H7725 into him^H7130 again^H7725^(H8799).
