017:020 He cried to Yahweh, and said, Yahweh my God, have you also brought
evil on the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing her son?
017:021 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.
017:022 Yahweh listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child
came into him again, and he revived.
017:023 Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the
chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother;
and Elijah said, Behold, your son lives.
017:024 The woman said to Elijah, Now I know that you are a man of God,
and that the word of Yahweh in your mouth is truth.
018:001 It happened after many days, that the word of Yahweh came
to Elijah, in the third year, saying, Go, show yourself to Ahab;
and I will send rain on the earth.
018:002 Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. The famine was
sore in Samaria.
018:003 Ahab called Obadiah, who was over the household.
(Now Obadiah feared Yahweh greatly:
018:004 for it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Yahweh,
that Obadiah took one hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty
in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
018:005 Ahab said to Obadiah, Go through the land, to all the springs
of water, and to all the brooks: peradventure we may find
grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we not lose
all the animals.
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.
018:007 As Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him:
and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Is it you,
my lord Elijah?
018:008 He answered him, It is I: go, tell your lord, Behold, Elijah [is
here].
018:009 He said, Wherein have I sinned, that you would deliver your
servant into the hand of Ahab, to kill me?
018:010 As Yahweh your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom,
where my lord has not sent to seek you: and when they said,
He is not here, he took an oath of the kingdom and nation,
that they didn't find you.
018:011 Now you say, Go, tell your lord, Behold, Elijah [is here].
018:012 It will happen, as soon as I am gone from you, that the Spirit
of Yahweh 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 fear Yahweh from my youth.
018:013 Wasn't it told my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets
of Yahweh, how I hid one hundred men of Yahweh's prophets
by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
018:014 Now you say, Go, tell your lord, Behold, Elijah [is here];
and he will kill me.
