TheElijah
1st Kings Chapter 17-18

      So he got up and he went to the city Zarephath and when he got to the city gates he saw the widow woman there gathering wood and sticks that had fallen on the ground.
Elijah said to her,

“Could you please bring me a cup of water to drink? I have walked a long way and am really thirsty.”
The widow woman got up to go get the water when Elijah said to her,

“Also could you please bring me bread as I am hungry as well.”

The widow woman said to him,

“As the Lord lives, I have no cakes or bread, I only have a small handful of flour and a little bit of oil. I was gathering wood just now so that I could cook our last loaf of bread so that my son and I could eat it, after that we won’t have anything to eat!”
“Make the bread for you and your son, but first make me a small loaf of bread and bring it to me, then make your loaf. The Lord has told me the flour and the oil will never disappear until the Lord sends the rain again.”
