25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Eli´jah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
26 but unto none of them was Eli´jah sent, save unto Zar´ephath, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eli´sha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Na´aman the Syrian.
28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
29 and rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
