Elijah and the Widow

The story of Elijah and the Widow begins like this: After a time, the brook at Cherith dried up and the prophet Elijah had no more water to drink. God told Elijah to go to the city of Zaraphath. It was a long walk, and by time Elijah arrived at the city, he was tired and hungry. In front of the city gate he saw a poor woman gathering sticks. She was pale and feeble, and she had suffered much in the famine that cursed the land. Still, the widow invited Elijah into her home. It was at the widow's home that Elijah performed the miracles of prolonging the oil and the meal so that Elijah and the widow and the widow's son would not starve. It is also here that Elijah performed the miracle of restoring the widow's son to life after his apparent death.
