RF KI1 17:1 (About B.C. 910.) Life of Eliah the Tishbite. Tragedy of Israel.
But Eliah the Thishbite, from, Thishbi in Gilad, said to Akhab, "By the life of the EVER-LIVING GOD of Israel, before whom I stand, there shall not be for these years dew or rain, except my mouth demands it!"
RF KI1 17:2 Then the Message of the EVER-LIVING came to him to say:—
RF KI1 17:3 "Go from here, and proceed to the East, and hide yourself near the brook Kerith, which runs into the Jordan,
RF KI1 17:4 and the brook will give you drink and I will instruct the Arabs1 to supply you with food there."
RF KI1 17:5 So he went and did as the EVER-LIVING said, and settled near the brook Kerith, which runs into the Jordan,
RF KI1 17:6 and the Arabs brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening, but he drank from the brook.
RF KI1 17:7 After a time, however, the brook dried up, for there were no showers in the land.
RF KI1 17:8 Then the message of the EVER-LIVING came to him, saying,
RF KI1 17:9 "Arise! Go to Zarafthah, which belongs to Zidon, and stay there; because I have instructed a widow woman there to provide for you."
RF KI1 17:10 (B.C. 907.) Eliah and the Widow of Zarephath.
He therefore arose and went to Zarephath and arrived at the neighborhood of the city, and there saw a widow woman gathering sticks, and he spoke to her and said, "Bring me, I pray, a little water in a cup, and let me drink."
RF KI1 17:11 And she went to fetch it, when he called after her, to say, "Bring me, I beg, a mouthful of bread in your hand."
RF KI1 17:12 When she replied, "By the life of your EVER-LIVING GOD, there is nothing in the house with me, except a handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruise, and I was gathering a few sticks, and was going to bake it for myself and my son; and to eat it,—and die!"
RF KI1 17:13 But Eliah answered her, "Fear not! Go and make as you have said.—Yet also make me from it a little cake first, and bring it to me; then go and make for your son afterwards,
RF KI1 17:14 for thus says the EVER-LIVING, the GOD of Israel, 'The barrel of meal shall not be spent and the cruise of oil not fail, until the time the EVER-LIVING gives rain upon the surface of the ground."
RF KI1 17:15 She accordingly went and did as Eliah told her; and she and her family ate again, and again, from that period.
RF KI1 17:16 The barrel of meal was not spent, and the cruse of oil did not fail, according to the word of the EVER-LIVING that He spoke by means of Eliah.
—————
1 The word Arabim, was erroneously translated "ravens" by the Greek translators, and the blunder, as usual, has been repeated since. It means Arabs, as I have translated in my text.—F.F.
RF KI1 17:17 The Widow's Son becomes ill.
It was after these events that the son of the woman, mistress of the house, became ill, and his illness was very severe, so that there was no breath left in him.
RF KI1 17:18 Then she said to Eliah, "Man of GOD, why have you come to me to bring my failings to remembrance, and to kill my son?"
RF KI1 17:19 But Eliah replied, "Give me your son." And she brought him in her arms, and he carried him up to the chamber where he lodged, and laid him upon his own bed,
RF KI1 17:20 and called to the EVER-LIVING, and said, "EVER-LIVING GOD, will You also bring suffering upon the widow with whom I stay, and kill her son?"
RF KI1 17:21 Then he bent over the lad three times, and called upon the EVER-LIVING, and said, "EVER-LIVING GOD, restore, I beg, the soul of this lad to his breast!
RF KI1 17:22 And the EVER-LIVING listened to the voice of Eliah, and restored the soul of the lad to his breast, and he was alive.
RF KI1 17:23 Then Eliah took the lad and descended from the chamber to the house, and gave him to his mother. Eliah then said, "See I Your son is alive!"
RF KI1 17:24 When the woman replied to Eliah, "Now, by this I know that you are a Man of GOD, and that the EVER-LIVING speaks by your mouth."
