 17:1 ¶ And Eliiah 452 the Tishbite, 8664 who was of the inhabitants 8453 x4480 of Gilead, 1568 said 559 z8799 vnto x413 Ahab, 256 As the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 liueth, 2416 before 6440 whome x834 I stand, 5975 z8804 there shall not x518 be x1961 deaw 2919 nor raine 4306 these x428 yeres, 8141 but x3588 x518 according 6310 to my word. 1697

 17:2 And the worde 1697 of the LORD 3068 came x1961 vnto x413 him, saying, 559 z8800

 17:3 Get y3212 z8798 x1980 thee hence, x4480 x2088 and turne 6437 z8804 thee Eastward, 6924 and hide y5641 z8738 thy selfe x5641 by the brooke 5158 Cherith, 3747 that x834 [is] before 6440 x5921 Iordane. 3383

 17:4 And it shall bee, x1961 [that] thou shalt drinke 8354 z8799 of the brooke, 5158 x4480 and I haue commanded 6680 z8765 the rauens 6158 to feed 3557 z8771 thee there. x8033

 17:5 So hee went, y3212 z8799 x1980 and did 6213 z8799 according vnto the word 1697 of the LORD: 3068 for hee went y3212 z8799 x1980 and dwelt 3427 z8799 by the brooke 5158 Cherith, 3747 that x834 [is] before 6440 x5921 Iordane. 3383

 17:6 And the rauens 6158 brought 935 z8688 him bread 3899 and flesh 1320 in the morning, 1242 and bread 3899 and flesh 1320 in the euening: 6153 and hee dranke 8354 z8799 of x4480 the brooke. 5158

 17:7 And it came to passe x1961 after 7093 x4480 a while, 3117 that the brooke 5158 dryed vp, 3001 z8799 because x3588 there had beene x1961 no x3808 raine 1653 in the land. 776

 17:8 ¶ And the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came x1961 vnto x413 him, saying, 559 z8800

 17:9 Arise, 6965 z8798 get y3212 z8798 x1980 thee to Zarephath, 6886 which x834 [belongeth] to Zidon, 6721 and dwell 3427 z8804 there: x8033 behold, x2009 I haue commaunded 6680 z8765 a widow 490 woman 802 there x8033 to sustaine 3557 z8771 thee.

 17:10 So he arose, 6965 z8799 and went y3212 z8799 x1980 to Zarephath: 6886 and when he came 935 z8799 to x413 the gate 6607 of the citie, 5892 behold, x2009 the widow 490 woman 802 was there x8033 gathering 7197 z8781 of stickes: 6086 and he called 7121 z8799 to x413 her, and said, 559 z8799 Fetch 3947 z8798 me, I pray thee, x4994 a little 4592 water 4325 in a vessell, 3627 that I may drinke. 8354 z8799

 17:11 And as shee was going y3212 z8799 x1980 to fetch 3947 z8800 it, he called 7121 z8799 to x413 her, and said, 559 z8799 Bring 3947 z8798 mee, I pray thee, x4994 a morsell 6595 of bread 3899 in thine hand. 3027

 17:12 And she said, 559 z8799 As the LORD 3068 thy God 430 liueth, 2416 I haue 3426 not x518 a cake, 4580 but x3588 x518 an handfull 4393 3709 of meale 7058 in a barrell, 3537 and a little 4592 oyle 8081 in a cruse: 6835 and behold, x2009 I am gathering 7197 z8781 two 8147 stickes, 6086 that I may goe in, 935 z8804 and dresse 6213 z8804 it for me and my sonne, 1121 that we may eate 398 z8804 it, and die. 4191 z8804

 17:13 And Eliiah 452 said 559 z8799 vnto x413 her, Feare 3372 z8799 not, x408 goe, 935 z8798 [and] doe 6213 z8798 as thou hast said: 1697 but x389 make 6213 z8798 mee thereof 8033 x4480 a little 6996 cake 5692 first, 7223 and bring 3318 z8689 it vnto mee, and after 314 make 6213 z8799 for thee, and for thy sonne. 1121

 17:14 For x3588 thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel, 3478 The barrell 3537 of meale 7058 shall not x3808 waste, 3615 z8799 neither x3808 shall the cruse 6835 of oile 8081 faile, 2637 z8799 vntill x5704 the day 3117 [that] the LORD 3068 sendeth 5414 z8800 raine 1653 vpon 6440 x5921 the earth. 127

 17:15 And shee went, y3212 z8799 x1980 and did 6213 z8799 according to the saying 1697 of Eliiah: 452 and she, x1931 and he, x1931 and her house 1004 did eate 398 z8799 [many] dayes. 3117

 17:16 [And] the barrell 3537 of meale 7058 wasted 3615 z8804 not, x3808 neither x3808 did the cruse 6835 of oyle 8081 faile, y2638 x2637 according to the word 1697 of the LORD, 3068 which x834 he spake 1696 z8765 by 3027 Eliiah. 452

 17:18 And shee sayd 559 z8799 vnto x413 Eliiah, 452 What x4100 haue I to doe with thee? O thou man 376 of God! 430 Art thou come 935 z8804 vnto x413 me to call y2142 z0 x853 my sinne 5771 to remembrance, 2142 z8687 and to slay 4191 z8687 x853 my sonne? 1121

 17:19 And he said 559 z8799 vnto x413 her, Giue 5414 z8798 me x853 thy sonne. 1121 And he tooke 3947 z8799 him out of her bosome, 2436 x4480 and caried him vp 5927 z8686 into x413 a loft, 5944 where x834 x8033 he x1931 abode, 3427 z8802 and laide 7901 z8686 him vpon x5921 his owne bed. 4296

 17:20 And hee cried 7121 z8799 vnto x413 the LORD, 3068 and said, 559 z8799 O LORD 3068 my God, 430 hast thou also x1571 brought euill 7489 z8689 vpon x5921 the widow, 490 with x5973 whom x834 I x589 soiourne, 1481 z8711 by slaying 4191 z8687 x853 her sonne? 1121

 17:21 And he stretched y4058 z8709 himselfe x4058 vpon x5921 the child 3206 three 7969 times, 6471 and cried 7121 z8799 vnto x413 the LORD, 3068 and said; 559 z8799 O LORD 3068 my God, 430 I pray thee, x4994 let this x2088 childes 3206 soule 5315 come y7725 z0 into him y7130 againe. 7725 z8799 x5921 x7130

 17:22 And the LORD 3068 heard 8085 z8799 the voice 6963 of Eliiah, 452 and the soule 5315 of the child 3206 came y7725 z0 into him y7130 againe, 7725 z8799 x5921 x7130 and he reuiued. 2421 z8799

 17:23 And Eliiah 452 tooke 3947 z8799 x853 the childe, 3206 and brought him downe 3381 z8686 out of x4480 the chamber 5944 into the house, 1004 and deliuered 5414 z8799 him vnto his mother: 517 and Eliiah 452 said, 559 z8799 See, 7200 z8798 thy sonne 1121 liueth. 2416

 17:24 ¶ And the woman 802 said 559 z8799 to x413 Eliiah, 452 Now x6258 by this 2088 I know, 3045 z8804 that x3588 thou x859 art a man 376 of God, 430 and that the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 in thy mouth 6310 [is] trueth. 571
