1 Kings 17:1-6

1Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word.”

2And the word of the Lord came to him, saying,

3“Go from here and turn eastward and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan [River].

4You shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to sustain you there [with food].”

5So he went and did in accordance with the word of the Lord; he went and lived by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan.

6And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he would drink from the brook.
