1 Kings 17: 8-16. 8 Then the word of the LORD came to him (Him being Elijah), saying, 9 Arise, get thee to Zarapeth, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there: See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you. 10 So he arose and went to Zarapeth. And when he came to the gate of the city, indeed a widow was there gathering sticks: and he called to her, and said, "Please bring me a little water in a cup so that I may drink." 11 And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, "Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand." 12 So she said, "As the lord your God lives, I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar: and, see, I am gathering a couple of sticks so that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my Son, that we may eat it, and die." 13 And Elijah said to her, do not fear; go and do as you have said: but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me, and afterward make some for yourself and your Son. 14 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day that the Lord sends rain upon the earth. 15 So she went and did according to the word of Elijah: and he, and she, and her household ate for many days. 16 The bin of flour was not used up, nor did the jar of oil run dry, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by Elijah.
