And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.

She went and did according to the word of Elias: and he ate, and she, and her house: and from that day

And she went and did according to the word of Elijah; and she, and he, and her house, ate a whole year.

And she goeth, and doth according to the word of Elijah, and she eateth, she and he, and her household, days;

So she went and did as Elijah said; and she and he and her family had food for a long time.

And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah. And she, and he, and her household, ate for a long time.

She went and acted in accord with the word of Elijah. And he ate, and she and her household ate. And from that day,

And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat (h) [many] days.
(h) That is, till he had rain and food on the earth.

And she went, and did according to the saying of Elijah,..... Made a cake for him first, and brought it to him, which showed great faith in the word of the Lord by him:
and she, and he, and her house, did eat; many days, a year at least, if not two years, see 1-Kings 17:7 the widow, the prophet, and her family, lived upon the meal and oil so long; we read but of one son, but she might have more.

Many days - A long time, even above two years, before the following event about her son happened. And surely the increase of her faith to such a degree, as to enable her thus to deny herself and trust the promise, was as great a miracle in the kingdom of grace, as the increase of her oil in the kingdom of providence. Happy are they who can thus against hope believe and obey in hope.
