1 Koningen 17:24 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 17:24

And the woman said to Elijah, now by this I know that thou
art a man of God
She took him to be one at his first coming to her; she was in a great measure confirmed in it by the miracle of the barrel of meal and cruse of oil; but upon the death of her son, which she was ready to impute to the prophet, she was staggered at it; but now, by his resurrection from the dead, was fully assured of it:

and that the word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth;
she had known before that what he said concerning the meal and oil not failing was true; but now she was more and more convinced and assured that the God, whose prophet he was, was the true God, and that the religion he professed was the true religion, and he a true prophet, and that all his prophecies would be exactly fulfilled.

1 Koningen 17:24 In-Context

22 En de HEERE verhoorde de stem van Elia; en de ziel van het kind kwam weder in hem, dat het weder levend werd.

23 En Elia nam het kind, en bracht het af van de opperzaal in het huis, en gaf het aan zijn moeder; en Elia zeide: Zie, uw zoon leeft.

24 Toen zeide de vrouw tot Elia: Nu weet ik, dat gij een man Gods zijt, en dat het woord des HEEREN in uw mond waarheid is.
