nkjv 1Kings:17:1-16

nkjv@1Kings:17:1 @ And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word."

nkjv@1Kings:17:2 @ Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

nkjv@1Kings:17:3 @ "Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan.

nkjv@1Kings:17:4 @ And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there."

nkjv@1Kings:17:5 @ So he went and did according to the word of the LORD, for he went and stayed by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan.

nkjv@1Kings:17:6 @ The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.

nkjv@1Kings:17:7 @ And it happened after a while that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.

nkjv@1Kings:17:8 @ Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

nkjv@1Kings:17:9 @ "Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you."

nkjv@1Kings:17:10 @ So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, indeed a widow was there gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, "Please bring me a little water in a cup, that I may drink."

nkjv@1Kings:17:11 @ And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, "Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand."

nkjv@1Kings:17:12 @ So she said, "As the LORD your God lives, I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar; and see, I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die."

nkjv@1Kings:17:13 @ And Elijah said to her, "Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son.

nkjv@1Kings:17:14 @ For thus says the LORD God of Israel: "The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the LORD sends rain on the earth."'

nkjv@1Kings:17:15 @ So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah; and she and he and her household ate for many days.

nkjv@1Kings:17:16 @ The bin of flour was not used up, nor did the jar of oil run dry, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke by Elijah.
