17:8 Eliyyah and the widow at Tserefat
8 Then Yahweh told Eliyyah, 9 “Leave here and go to Tserefat in the Tsidon region and stay there. Listen, I’ve commanded a widow lady there to keep you fed.”[ref] 10 So he got ready and went to Tserefat. As he entered the town, he saw a woman picking up bits of firewood, and he asked her, “Can you please get me a drink of water.” 11 As she went to get it, he called out, “Would you have a piece of bread to go with it?.”
12 But she replied, “As your God Yahweh lives, I don’t have any bread at all—only a handful of flour in the jar, and a little bit of oil in the jug. See, I’m gathering a few bits of firewood so I can make a little bread for me and my son. After we’ve eaten that, then we’ll die.”
13 But Eliyyah told her, “Don’t be worried. Go and do what you said, except make some bread for me first and bring it out to me. Then after that, you can make some for you and for your son, 14 because Israel’s God Yahweh has told me that your flour won’t run out and your oil won’t come to an end until the day when Yahweh gives us rain again.”
15 So the woman went and did what Eliyyah said, then sure enough Eliyyah and the widow and her household had enough food every day. 16 The jar of flour never got empty and the jug of oil never ran out, just as Yahweh had promised via Eliyyah.
17 Some time afterwards, the woman’s son got sick and then it got so bad that he died, 18 so she hassled Eliyyah, “You man of God, why did you come here! Now my sins have been brought to God’s mind, and he’s caused my son to die!”
19 But he told her to bring her son to him, and taking the boy from her arms, he took the body upstairs to the room he was staying in, and laid him down on his bed. 20 Then he called out to Yahweh, “Yahweh, my God, would you really bring tragedy to this widow that I’m staying with by causing her son to die?” 21 Then three times he stretched himself over the boy’s body and begged Yahweh, “Yahweh, my God, please let this child’s life return into his organs.”[ref] 22 Yahweh took notice of Eliyyah and the boy’s life returned and he revived.
23 Then Eliyyah carried the boy back downstairs and gave him to his mother and told her, “Look, your son’s alive.”
24 “Now I certainly know that you’re a man of God,” the woman responded, “And when you say that you’re speaking for Yahweh, it’s really true.”
Luk 4:25-26:
25 [ref]There were certainly many widows in Israel in the days of Eliyyah when God stopped the rain for three and a half years and caused a terrible famine. 26 [ref]But Eliyyah wasn’t sent to any of them—rather he was sent to a foreign widow in Zarephath in the Tsidon region.
2Ki 4:34-35:
34 Then he got on the bed, and he lay on the child and bent down near him, putting his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his palms on his palms. Then the child’s body started getting warmer, 35 and he got down and walked around the room several times. Then he got on the bed again, and bent down near him. The young man gasped several times, and then opened his eyes.
