1 Kings 17:2-11

1. 2 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,

2. 3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.

3. 4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.

4. 5 So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.

5. 6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.

6. 7 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.

7. 8 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,

8. 9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.

9. 10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.

10. 11 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
