1 Kings 17:7-12
7And after a while the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.The Widow of Zarephath
8Then the word of the Lord came to him, 9“Arise, go to aZarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to feed you.” 10So he arose and went to bZarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there cgathering sticks. And he called to her and said, “Bring me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.” 11And as she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, “Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.” 12And she said, d“As the Lord your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. And now I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it and die.”
