1 Kings 17: Elijah and the Widow of Zarephath

Elijah tells Ahab that no rain will fall until he says so, and ravens feed him by a brook. God then sends him to a widow in Zarephath, whose flour and oil last through the famine. When her son dies, Elijah prays, the boy revives, and she confesses that Elijah speaks the LORD's word.
