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

Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah:

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

And as she was going to get it, he called to her and said, “Please bring me a piece of bread.”
