1 Kings 17:9 in context

  1. 7After a while, the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
  2. 8Yahweh’s word came to him, saying,
  3. 9“Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.”
  4. 10So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her, and said, “Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink.”
  5. 11As she was going to get it, he called to her, and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”
