So he arose and went 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.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 17 of 1 Kings. God sends Elijah to Zarephath, a territory associated with Sidon, the region of Jezebel. A poor widow receives the prophet even though she has barely any flour and oil. When she obeys the word, the supply does not run out. The episode shows that God’s work is not limited to Israel and that a foreign woman responds with greater trust to the divine word than many within Ahab’s kingdom.
