1 Kings 17 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

1Ki 17:1

1Ki 17:1Eliyah the Tishbi, who was of the foreigners of Gil`ad, said to Ach'av, As the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.

1Ki 17:2

1Ki 17:2The word of the LORD came to him, saying,

1Ki 17:3

1Ki 17:3Get you hence, and turn you eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Kerit, that is before the Yarden.

1Ki 17:4

1Ki 17:4It shall be, that you shall drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.

1Ki 17:5

1Ki 17:5So he went and did according to the word of the LORD; for he went and lived by the brook Kerit, that is before the Yarden.

1Ki 17:6

1Ki 17:6The ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.

1Ki 17:7

1Ki 17:7It happened after a while, that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.

1Ki 17:8

1Ki 17:8The word of the LORD came to him, saying,

1Ki 17:9

1Ki 17:9Arise, get you to Tzarfat, which belongs to Tzidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.

1Ki 17:10

1Ki 17:10So he arose and went to Tzarfat; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks: and he called to her, and said, Please get me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.

1Ki 17:11

1Ki 17:11As she was going to get it, he called to her, and said, Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.

1Ki 17:12

1Ki 17:12She said, As the LORD your God lives, I aren't they a cake, but a handful of meal in the jar, and a little oil in the jar: and, 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.

1Ki 17:13

1Ki 17:13Eliyah said to her, Don't be afraid; go and do as you have said; but make me of it a little cake first, and bring it forth to me, and afterward make for you and for your son.

1Ki 17:14

1Ki 17:14For thus says the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, The jar of meal shall not empty, neither shall the jar of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sends rain on the eretz.

1Ki 17:15

1Ki 17:15She went and did according to the saying of Eliyah: and she, and he, and her house, ate many days.

1Ki 17:16

1Ki 17:16The jar of meal didn't empty, neither did the jar of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by Eliyah.

1Ki 17:17

1Ki 17:17It happened 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.

1Ki 17:18

1Ki 17:18She said to Eliyah, What have I to do with you, you man of God? you are come to me to bring my sin to memory, and to kill my son!

1Ki 17:19

1Ki 17:19He said to her, Give me your son. He took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the chamber, where he abode, and laid him on his own bed.

1Ki 17:20

1Ki 17:20He cried to the LORD, and said, LORD my God, have you also brought evil on the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing her son?

1Ki 17:21

1Ki 17:21He stretched himself on the child three times, and cried to the LORD, and said, LORD my God, please let this child's soul come into him again.

1Ki 17:22

1Ki 17:22The LORD listened to the voice of Eliyah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.

1Ki 17:23

1Ki 17:23Eliyah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Eliyah said, Behold, your son lives.

1Ki 17:24

1Ki 17:24The woman said to Eliyah, Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in your mouth is truth.
