1 Kings 17:1-12 Elijah the Tishbite from Tishbe of Gilead said to Ahab, "As the LORD lives, the God of Israel before whom I stand, there shall surely not be dew nor rain these years except by my command."

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Elijah the Tishbite from Tishbe of Gilead said to Ahab, "As the LORD lives, the God of Israel before whom I stand, there shall surely not be dew nor rain these years except by my command." ² Then a word of the Lord came to Elias, ³ »Go east from here and hide by the Cherith Brook, east of Jordan. ⁴ "You will drink from the brook. I have ordered the ravens to feed you there." ⁵ So he did as the LORD said, living by the Cherith Brook, east of Jordan. ⁶ The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook. ⁷ But after a while, the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. ⁸ Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying: ⁹ "Get up, move to Zarephath in Sidon, and stay there. Look! I've commanded a widow to sustain you there." ¹⁰ So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her, and said, “Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink.” ¹¹ As she was going to get it, he said: "And get me some bread." ¹² She said, "As the LORD your God lives, I do not have anything baked, except a handful of flour in a jar, and a little oil in a jug. Look, I am gathering a couple of sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die."
