11:017:015 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and
she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
11:017:016 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.
11:017:017 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.
11:017:018 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?
11:017:019 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.
11:017:020 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?
11:017:021 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.
11:017:022 And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the
child came into him again, and he revived.
11:017:023 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.
11:017:024 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.
11:018:001 And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD
came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself
unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.
11:018:002 And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a
sore famine in Samaria.
11:018:003 And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house.
(Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:
11:018:004 For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD,
that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty
in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
11:018:005 And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all
fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may
find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose
not all the beasts.
11:018:006 So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it:
Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by
himself.
11:018:007 And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he
knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my
lord Elijah?
