What is happening here?

God sends him first to the brook Cherith, where ravens feed him, and then to Zarephath in Sidon, where a poor widow’s meal and oil are sustained through the drought. When her son dies, Elijah cries to the LORD, and the child’s life returns. The widow then confesses that Elijah is truly a man of God whose word is truth.
