Elisha replied,“ Hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Lord says:‘ About this time tomorrow at the gate of Samaria, six quarts of fine meal will sell for a shekel and 12 quarts of barley will sell for a shekel.’”Then the captain, the king’s right-hand man, responded to the man of God,“ Look, even if the Lord were to make windows in heaven, could this really happen?” Elisha announced,“ You will in fact see it with your own eyes, but you won’t eat any of it.”Four men with a skin disease were at the entrance to the gate. They said to each other,“ Why just sit here until we die?If we say,‘ Let’s go into the city,’ we will die there because the famine is in the city, but if we sit here, we will also die. So now, come on. Let’s go to the Arameans’ camp. If they let us live, we will live; if they kill us, we will die.”So the diseased men got up at twilight to go to the Arameans’ camp. When they came to the camp’s edge, they discovered that there was not a single man there,for the Lord had caused the Aramean camp to hear the sound of chariots, horses, and a great army. The Arameans had said to each other,“ The king of Israel must have hired the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Egypt to attack us.”So they had gotten up and fled at twilight, abandoning their tents, horses, and donkeys. The camp was intact, and they had fled for their lives.When these men came to the edge of the camp, they went into a tent to eat and drink.

I have commanded the ravens to provide for you there.”So he did what the Lord commanded. Elijah left and lived by the Wadi Cherith where it enters the Jordan.The ravens kept bringing him bread and meat in the morning and in the evening, and he drank from the wadi.After a while, the wadi dried up because there had been no rain in the land.Then the word of the Lord came to him:“ Get up, go to Zarephath that belongs to Sidon and stay there. Look, I have commanded a woman who is a widow to provide for you there.”So Elijah got up and went to Zarephath. When he arrived at the city gate, there was a widow woman gathering wood. Elijah called to her and said,“ Please bring me a little water in a cup and let me drink.”As she went to get it, he called to her and said,“ Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand.”But she said,“ As the Lord your God lives, I don’t have anything baked— only a handful of flour in the jar and a bit of oil in the jug. Just now, I am gathering a couple of sticks in order to go prepare it for myself and my son so we can eat it and die.”Then Elijah said to her,“ Don’t be afraid; go and do as you have said. But first make me a small loaf from it and bring it out to me. Afterward, you may make some for yourself and your son,for this is what the Lord God of Israel says,‘ The flour jar will not become empty and the oil jug will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the surface of the land.”So she proceeded to do according to the word of Elijah. Then the woman, Elijah, and her household ate for many days.The flour jar did not become empty, and the oil jug did not run dry, according to the word of the Lord He had spoken through Elijah.After this, the son of the woman who owned the house became ill.
