1 Kings 17:3-11

³“Leave here and go east. Hide in the valley of the Cherith brook where it meets the Jordan.

⁴You can drink from the brook, and I have ordered ravens to bring you food you there.”

⁵So Elijah did what the Lord told him. He went to the valley of the Cherith brook, where it meets the Jordan, and stayed there.

⁶Ravens brought him bread and meat both in the morning and in the evening, and he drank from the brook.

⁷A while later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.

⁸Then the Lord told Elijah,

⁹“Leave here and go to Zarephath near Sidon and stay there. I have given instructions to a widow there to provide you with food.”

¹⁰So he left for Zarephath. When he arrived at the entrance to the town, he saw a woman, a widow, gathering sticks. He called her over and asked her, “Could you bring me a little water in a cup so I can have a drink?”

¹¹As she was going to get it, he called after her and said, “Oh, and please bring me a piece of bread.”
