The Answer
During the drought Elijah had announced to King Ahab, God hid the prophet at the Kerith Ravine and commanded ravens to feed him. They brought him bread and meat every morning and evening, and he drank from the brook. When the brook dried up, God sent him on to a widow in Zarephath.
"The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook."
— 1 Kings 17:6
