1 Kings 17:11-19

¹¹As she was going to get it, he called after her and said, “Oh, and please bring me a piece of bread.”

¹²She replied, “As the Lord your God lives, I have no bread, only a handful of flour is left in a jar and a little bit of olive oil in a jug. Right now I am gathering a few of sticks so I can go and cook what's left for myself and my son so we can eat it, and then we'll die.”

¹³Elijah said to her, “Don't be afraid. Go home and do what you said. But first make me a small loaf of bread from what you have and bring it to me. Then make something for yourself and your son.

¹⁴For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not become empty and the jug of olive oil will not run out until the day the Lord sends rain to water the ground.”

¹⁵She went and did as Elijah had told her, and Elijah, the widow, and her household were able to eat for many days.

¹⁶The jar of flour was did not become empty and the jug of olive oil did not run out, just as the Lord had said through Elijah.

¹⁷Later on the woman's son fell sick. (She was the one who owned the house.) He went from bad to worse, and finally he died.

¹⁸“What are you doing to me, man of God?” the woman asked Elijah. “Have you come to remind me about my sins and cause my son to die?”

¹⁹“Give me your son,” Elijah replied. He picked him up from her arms, carried him upstairs to the room where he was staying, and laid him on his bed.
