shewed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
[28] So Omri slept with
his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.
[29] And in the thirty and
eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son
of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.
[30] And Ahab the son of Omri did evil
in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.
[31] And it came to pass, as if it had been a
light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the
daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.
[32] And he
reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
[33] And Ahab made a
grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that
were before him.
[34] In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in
Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of
the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.

[1] And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God
of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my
word.
[2] And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
[3] Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward,
and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
[4] And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of
the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
[5] So he went and did according unto
the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
[6] And the
ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank
of the brook.
[7] And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no
rain in the land.
[8] And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
[9] Arise, get thee to Zarephath,
which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain
thee.
[10] So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the
widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little
water in a vessel, that I may drink.
[11] And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring
me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
[12] And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have
not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two
sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
[13] And Elijah said
unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto
me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
[14] For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of
meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon
the earth.
[15] And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house,
did eat many days.
[16] And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to
the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.
[17] And it came to pass after these things, that the
son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no
breath left in him.
[18] And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art
thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?
[19] And he said unto her, Give
me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid
him upon his own bed.
[20] And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also
brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
[21] And he stretched himself
upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this
child's soul come into him again.
[22] And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child
came into him again, and he revived.
[23] And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the
chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.
[24] And
the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the LORD
in thy mouth is truth.

[1] And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year,
saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.
[2] And Elijah went to shew himself
