God sends ravens with food for Elijah.

1 Kings 17:1-6

Ahab was the new king of Israel. Ahab didn’t worship God. Ahab built
places to worship idols instead of God. Many of the people in Israel
stopped worshiping God because of the evil things that Ahab did. God
was angry with Ahab.
Elijah didn’t worship idols. Elijah obeyed God. Elijah went to see King
Ahab. “There won’t be any rain for a long time,” Elijah said. “There
won’t be any rain to make the food in the fields grow. There won’t be
any rain to make the grass green. There won’t be any rain to give the
people water to drink.” Ahab was very angry.
So God told Elijah to hide from the king. Elijah left the city. He walked
and walked. Elijah came to a brook. Elijah drank some water from the
brook. God told Elijah to stay by the brook. God told Elijah that birds
called ravens were going to bring food to him. Every morning and
every evening the ravens came with bread and meat for Elijah to eat.
