1 Kings 17:13-22

¹³But Elijah said to her, “Do not be worried! Go home and do what you said that you were going to do. But first, bake me a little loaf of bread and bring it to me. After you do that, take what is left and prepare some food for you and your son.

¹⁴I know that you will be able to do that, because Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship, says this: ‘There will always be plenty of flour and olive oil left in your containers, until the time when I send rain again and the crops grow again!’ ”

¹⁵So the woman did exactly what Elijah told her to do. And she and her son and Elijah had enough food every day,

¹⁶because the flour in the jar was never finished, and the jug of oil was never empty. That happened just like Yahweh had told Elijah that it would happen.

¹⁷Some time later, the woman's son became sick. He continued to get worse, and finally he died.

¹⁸So the woman went to Elijah and said to him, “You are a prophet; so why have you done this to me? Have you come here to punish me for my sins by causing my son to die?”

¹⁹But Elijah replied, “Give your son to me.” So she gave her son to him, and he took the boy's body from her and carried it up the steps to the room where he stayed. He laid the boy's body on his bed.

²⁰Then Elijah cried out to Yahweh, “O Yahweh my God, this widow has kindly allowed me to stay in her home. So why have you brought this tragedy to her and caused her son to die?” RHQ

²¹Then Elijah stretched himself on top of the boy's body and called out to Yahweh saying, “Yahweh my God, please allow this boy to become alive again!” He did this three times.

²²Yahweh heard what Elijah prayed, and he caused the boy to become alive again DOU.
