1 Kings 17:8-12 New International Version (NIV)
8. Then the word of the Lord came to him:
9. “Go at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there. I
have directed a widow there to supply you with food.”
10. So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a
widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked,
“Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a
drink?”
11. As she was going to get it, he called, “And bring me,
please, a piece of bread.”
12. “As surely as the Lord your God lives,” she replied, “I don’t have
any bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in
a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal
for myself and my son, that we may eat it—and die.”
