So he carried out the LORD’s message; he went and lived in the Kerith Valley near the Jordan.
The ravens would bring him bread and meat each morning and evening, and he would drink from the stream.

The LORD’s message came to him,
“Get up, go to Zarephath in Sidonian territory, and live there. I have already told a widow who lives there to provide for you.”
So he got up and went to Zarephath. When he went through the city gate, there was a widow gathering wood. He called out to her,“Please give me a little water in a cup, so I can take a drink.”
As she went to get it, he called out to her,“Please bring me a piece of bread.”
