So he got up and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the door of the town, he saw a widow woman getting sticks together; and crying out to her he said, Will you give me a little water in a vessel for my drink?
11
And when she was going to get it, he said to her, And get me with it a small bit of bread.
12
Then she said, By the life of the Lord your God, I have nothing but a little meal in my store, and a drop of oil in the bottle; and now I am getting two sticks together so that I may go in and make it ready for me and my son, so that we may have a meal before our death.
13
And Elijah said to her, Have no fear; go and do as you have said, but first make me a little cake of it and come and give it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son.
14
For this is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: The store of meal will not come to an end, and the bottle will never be without oil, till the day when the Lord sends rain on the earth.
15
So she went and did as Elijah said; and she and he and her family had food for a long time.
16
The store of meal did not come to an end, and the bottle was never without oil, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Elijah.
17
Now after this, the son of the woman of the house became ill, so ill that there was no breath in him.
18
And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with you, O man of God? have you come to put God in mind of my sin, and to put my son to death?
19
And he said to her, Give your son to me. And lifting him out of her arms, he took him up to his room and put him down on his bed.
20
And crying to the Lord he said, O Lord my God, have you sent evil even on the widow whose guest I am, by causing her son's death?
