Yet he still trusted God.Īfter the prophet raised her son from the dead, the widow proclaimed that she too trusted in the God of Elijah and that his words were the truth from God. Elijah also did not know if God had brought this punishment because of him or not.

Elijah carried the boy to his bed and prayed over him. The widow was concerned that God had been reminded of her sin because of housing Elijah with her. Elijah had told her that God would make her food last until the drought was over. Yet her faith was not completely in God Himself. She trusted Elijah when he said she could trust in God. She agreed to take care of the prophet even though she had no money and only enough food for her and her son to eat their final meal. She apparently knew about Elijah and his faith in God. 18 ( S)Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, ( T)and every mouth that has not kissed him.God then told Elijah to go to the city of Zarephath where he was to meet a widow woman. 17 ( P)It shall be that whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu will ( Q)kill and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu, ( R)Elisha will kill. And ( O)Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place. 16 Also you shall anoint ( N)Jehu the son of Nimshi as king over Israel. I alone am left and they seek to take my life.”ġ5 Then the Lord said to him: “Go, return on your way to the Wilderness of Damascus ( M)and when you arrive, anoint Hazael as king over Syria. ( K)Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”ġ4 ( L)And he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts because the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. ( F)I alone am left and they seek to take my life.” God’s Revelation to Elijahġ1 Then He said, “Go out, and stand ( G)on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord ( H)passed by, and ( I)a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire and after the fire a still small voice.ġ3 So it was, when Elijah heard it, that ( J)he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. 7 And the angel of the Lord came back the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.” 8 So he arose, and ate and drank and he went in the strength of that food forty days and ( A)forty nights as far as ( B)Horeb, the mountain of God.ĩ And there he went into a cave, and spent the night in that place and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”ġ0 So he said, ( C)“I have been very ( D)zealous for the Lord God of hosts for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and ( E)killed Your prophets with the sword. 5 Then as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat.” 6 Then he looked, and there by his head was a cake baked on coals, and a jar of water.
