![]() “Take away my life I might as well be dead!”ĥ He lay down under the tree and fell asleep. He stopped and sat down in the shade of a tree and wished he would die. ![]() Leaving the servant there, 4 ( A)Elijah walked a whole day into the wilderness. 2 She sent a message to Elijah: “May the gods strike me dead if by this time tomorrow I don't do the same thing to you that you did to the prophets.” 3 Elijah was afraid and fled for his life he took his servant and went to Beersheba in Judah. 20 Then he prayed aloud, “O Lord my God, why have you done such a terrible thing to this widow? She has been kind enough to take care of me, and now you kill her son!” 21 ( C)Then Elijah stretched himself out on the boy three times and prayed, “O Lord my God, restore this child to life!” 22 The Lord answered Elijah's prayer the child started breathing again and revived.19 King Ahab told his wife Jezebel everything that Elijah had done and how he had put all the prophets of Baal to death. He took the boy from her arms, carried him upstairs to the room where he was staying, and laid him on the bed. 18 She said to Elijah, “Man of God, why did you do this to me? Did you come here to remind God of my sins and so cause my son's death?”ġ9 “Give the boy to me,” Elijah said. 16 As the Lord had promised through Elijah, the bowl did not run out of flour nor did the jar run out of oil.ġ7 Some time later the widow's son got sick he got worse and worse, and finally he died. 14 For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘The bowl will not run out of flour or the jar run out of oil before the day that I, the Lord, send rain.’”ġ5 The widow went and did as Elijah had told her, and all of them had enough food for many days. But first make a small loaf from what you have and bring it to me, and then prepare the rest for you and your son. That will be our last meal, and then we will starve to death.”ġ3 “Don't worry,” Elijah said to her. I came here to gather some firewood to take back home and prepare what little I have for my son and me. All I have is a handful of flour in a bowl and a bit of olive oil in a jar. 11 And as she was going to get it, he called out, “And please bring me some bread, too.”ġ2 She answered, “By the living Lord your God I swear that I don't have any bread. “Please bring me a drink of water,” he said to her. I have commanded a widow who lives there to feed you.” 10 So Elijah went to Zarephath, and as he came to the town gate, he saw a widow gathering firewood. Elijah and the Widow in ZarephathĨ Then the Lord said to Elijah, 9 ( B)“Now go to the town of Zarephath, near Sidon, and stay there. 7 After a while the brook dried up because of the lack of rain. 6 He drank water from the brook, and ravens brought him bread and meat every morning and every evening. 4 The brook will supply you with water to drink, and I have commanded ravens to bring you food there.”ĥ Elijah obeyed the Lord's command, and went and stayed by Cherith Brook. 17 ( A)A prophet named Elijah, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to King Ahab, “In the name of the Lord, the living God of Israel, whom I serve, I tell you that there will be no dew or rain for the next two or three years until I say so.”Ģ Then the Lord said to Elijah, 3 “Leave this place and go east and hide yourself near Cherith Brook, east of the Jordan.
