5 Elijah obeyed the Lord's command, and went and stayed by the brook of Cherith.
6 He drank water from the brook, and ravens brought him bread and meat every morning and every evening.
7 After a while the brook dried up because of the lack of rain.
8 Then the Lord said to Elijah,
9 “Now go to the town of Zarephath, near Sidon, and stay there. I have commanded a widow who lives there to feed you.”
10 So Elijah went to Zarephath, and as he came to the gate of the town, he saw a widow gathering firewood. “Please bring me a drink of water,” he said to her.
11 And as she was going to get it, he called out, “And please bring me some bread, too.”
