1 Kings 17:8-16

[8] And the word  of the LORD  came unto him, saying,  [9] Arise,  thee to Zarephath,  which belongeth to Zidon,  and dwell  there: behold, I have commanded  a widow  woman  there to sustain  [10] So he arose  to Zarephath.  And when he came  to the gate  of the city,  behold, the widow  woman  was there gathering  of sticks:  and he called  to her, and said,  Fetch  me, I pray thee, a little  water  in a vessel,  that I may drink.  [11] to fetch  it, he called  to her, and said,  Bring  me, I pray thee, a morsel  of bread  in thine hand.  [12] And she said,  As the LORD  thy God  liveth,  I have  not a cake,  but an handful  of meal  in a barrel,  and a little  oil  in a cruse:  and, behold, I am gathering  two  sticks,  that I may go in  and dress  it for me and my son,  that we may eat  it, and die.  [13] And Elijah  said  unto her, Fear  not; go  and do  as thou hast said:  but make  me thereof  a little  cake  first,  and bring  it unto me, and after  make  for thee and for thy son.  [14] For thus saith  the LORD  God  of Israel,  The barrel  of meal  shall not waste,  neither shall the cruse  of oil  fail,  until the day  that the LORD  sendeth  rain  upon  the earth.  [15] and did  according to the saying  of Elijah:  and she, and he, and her house,  did eat  many days.  [16] And the barrel  of meal  wasted  not, neither did the cruse  of oil  fail,  according to the word  of the LORD,  which he spake  by  Elijah.
