1 Kings 17:17–24 — The Widow's Son Raised from the Dead
Context: This passage follows Elijah's stay with the widow of Zarephath whose flour and oil God had miraculously sustained. What’s interesting about this whole episode is that God has sent Elijah to the land of the Sidonians – this is Jezebel’s home turf, a place where people worship Baal. It’s as if God is sending Elijah to Zaraphath to show anyone who would take time to notice, that He is Lord and that Baal is not. It’s within this context that a second crisis erupts.
