5 So Elijah did what the Lord told him to do. He went to live near Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan River.
6 Ravens brought Elijah food every morning and every evening, and he drank water from the stream.
7 There was no rain, so after a while the stream became dry.
8 Then the Lord said to Elijah,
9 “Go to Zarephath in Sidon and stay there. There is a widow there that I commanded to take care of you.”
10 So Elijah went to Zarephath. He went to the town gate and saw a woman there gathering wood for a fire. She was a widow. Elijah said to her, “Would you bring me a small cup of water to drink?”
11 As she was going to get the water, Elijah said, “Bring me a piece of bread too, please.”
