Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tisbe in Gilead,
said to Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives,
whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain
in the next few years except at my word.”
Then the word of the Lord
came to Elijah: “Leave here, turn eastward and hide
in the ravine of Kerith, east of the Jordan.
You will
drink from the brook, and I have ordered the ravens to
feed you there.”
So he did what the Lord had told him. He went to the
ravine of Kerith, east of the Jordan, and stayed there.
The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning,
and bread and meet in the evening, and he drank from
the brook.
