Portal:Bible/Featured chapter/1 Kings 17
Elijah gives a warning to Ahab, king of Israel, that there will be years of drought. Elijah is sent to a widow who tells him she hasn't enough flour or oil. Elijah promises that the flour and oil will last until the rains return, which comes true. The widow's son later grows sick and stops breathing. Elijah lays the son's body on his own bed, stretches himself over on the body three times, and prays, and the son comes back to life.
