Read in context

1 Kings 17:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 The ravens would bring him bread and meat in the morning and evening, and he would drink from the brook.

7 Some time later, however, the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.

8 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah:

9 “Get up and go to Zarephath of Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.”

10 So Elijah got up and went to Zarephath. When he arrived at the city gate, there was a widow gathering sticks. Elijah called to her and said, “Please bring me a little water in a cup, so that I may drink.”
