1 Kings 17:4-10

⁴You will be able to drink water from the brook, and you will be able to eat what the crows bring to you, because I have commanded them to bring food to you.”

⁵So Elijah did what Yahweh commanded him to do. He went and camped alongside Kerith Brook.

⁶Crows bought bread and meat to him every morning and every evening, and he drank water from the brook.

⁷But after a while, the water in the brook dried up, because rain did not fall anywhere in the land.

⁸Then Yahweh said to Elijah,

⁹“Go and live in Zarephath village, near Sidon city. There is a widow there who will give you food to eat. I have already told her what to do about that.”

¹⁰So Elijah did what God said. He went to Zarephath. As he arrived at the gates of the village, he saw a widow who was gathering sticks. He said to her, “Would you please bring me a cup of water?”
