14. The Lord, the God of Israel, says, ‘That jar of flour will never become empty. The jug will always have oil in it. This will continue until the day the Lord sends rain to the land.’”
15. So the woman went home. And she did what Elijah told her to do. So Elijah, the woman and her son had enough food every day.
16. The jar of flour and the jug of oil were never empty. This happened just as the Lord, through Elijah, said it would.
17. Some time later the son of the woman who owned the house became sick. He grew worse and worse. Finally he stopped breathing.
18. So the woman said to Elijah, “You are a man of God. What have you done to me? Did you come here to remind me of my sin? Did you come here to kill my son?”
19. Elijah said to her, “Give me your son.” So Elijah took the boy from her and carried him upstairs. Elijah laid the boy on the bed in the room where he was staying.
20. Then he prayed to the Lord. He said, “Lord my God, this widow is letting me stay in her house. Why have you done this terrible thing to her? Why have you caused her son to die?”
