The widow of Zarephath

Her meal and oil did not fail

1 Kings 17:16

Zarephath belonged to Zidon, outside the land of Israel. That was the same country Jezebel's father ruled. God sent His prophet there to be fed by a widow who was down to her last meal.

And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
