於是以利亞照着耶和華的話，去住在約旦河東的基立溪旁。 ……耶和華的話臨到他說： 「你起身往西頓的撒勒法去，住在那裏；我已吩咐那裏的一個寡婦供養你。」 列王紀上 17:5, 8-9
So Elijah obeyed the word of the Lord. He went. And he lived by the stream called Cherith, east of the River Jordan. ……Then the word of the Lord came again to Elijah. ‘Go immediately to Zarephath near Sidon. Stay there. I have said to a widow there that she must supply you with food.’ 1 Kings 17:5, 8-9
