    4Drink from the stream; I have already told the ravens to bring you food there.”

    5So he carried out the LORD’s message; he went and lived in the Kerith Valley near the Jordan.

    6The ravens would bring him bread and meat each morning and evening, and he would drink from the stream.

    7After a while, the stream dried up because there had been no rain in the land.

    8The LORD’s message came to him,

    9“Get up, go to Zarephath in Sidonian territory, and live there. I have already told a widow who lives there to provide for you.”

    10So 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.”

    11As she went to get it, he called out to her,“Please bring me a piece of bread.”

    12But when I leave you, the LORD’s Spirit will carry you away so I can’t find you. If I go tell Ahab I’ve seen you, he won’t be able to find you and he will kill me. That would not be fair, because your servant has been a loyal follower of the LORD from my youth.

    13Certainly my master is aware of what I did when Jezebel was killing the LORD’s prophets. I hid one hundred of the LORD’s prophets in two caves in two groups of fifty and I brought them food and water.

    14Now you say,‘Go and say to your master,“Elijah is back,”’ but he will kill me.”
