OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_called to YHWH and_said Oh_YHWH god_my also on the_widow whom I [am]_staying_as_a_sojourner with_her/it have_you_done_harm by_killing DOM son_her.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
have you also brought disaster on the widow with whom I am staying, by killing her son?
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_called to/towards YHWH and,said YHWH God,my ?,also on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,widow which/who I staying with=her/it brought_calamity by,killing DOM son,her )
This could mean: (1) Elijah is truly asking a question. Alternate translation: “why would you cause the widow with whom I am staying to suffer even more by killing her son” or (2) Elijah uses a question to express how sad he is. Alternate translation: “surely, you would not cause the widow with whom I am staying to suffer even more by killing her son”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
have you also brought disaster on the widow
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_called to/towards YHWH and,said YHWH God,my ?,also on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,widow which/who I staying with=her/it brought_calamity by,killing DOM son,her )
Causing the widow to suffer is spoken of as if “disaster” were an object that is placed on the widow.
also brought disaster
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_called to/towards YHWH and,said YHWH God,my ?,also on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,widow which/who I staying with=her/it brought_calamity by,killing DOM son,her )
Here “also” means in addition to the disaster that the drought has caused.
17:20 why have you brought tragedy: Elijah plaintively expressed to God the fear that his presence caused the child’s death.
