Elijah's message to Ahab concerning the three years' drought, Kg1 17:1. He is commanded to go to the brook Cherith; where he is fed by ravens, Kg1 17:2-7. He afterwards goes to a widow's house at Zarephath, and miraculously multiplies her meal and oil, Kg1 17:8-16. Her son dies, and Elijah restores him to life, Kg1 17:17-24.
