Good News Bible

1 Kings 17:15-19 Good News Bible (GNB)

15. The widow went and did as Elijah had told her, and all of them had enough food for many days.

16. As the Lord had promised through Elijah, the bowl did not run out of flour nor did the jar run out of oil.

17. Some time later the widow's son fell ill; he got worse and worse, and finally he died.

18. She said to Elijah, “Man of God, why did you do this to me? Did you come here to remind God of my sins and so cause my son's death?”

19. “Give the boy to me,” Elijah said. He took the boy from her arms, carried him upstairs to the room where he was staying, and laid him on the bed.
