| 1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe 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.\"
2 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah:
3 \"Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan.
4 You will drink from the brook, and I have ordered the ravens to feed you there.\"
5 So he did what the LORD had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there.
6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.
7 Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
