1 Kings 17:1-7
1Now ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, who was of 12the settlersH8453 of GileadH1568, saidH559 to AhabH256, “3As the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 livesH2416, beforeH6440 whomH834 I standH5975, 4there shall certainlyH518 be neitherH518 dewH2919 nor rainH4306 during theseH428 yearsH8141, exceptH3588H518 by my wordH1697.” 2Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to him, sayingH559, 3“GoH1980 away from hereH2088 and turnH6437 eastwardH6924, and hideH5641 yourself by the brookH5158 CherithH3747, whichH834 is 5eastH5921H6440 of the JordanH3383. 4And it shall be that you will drinkH8354 from the brookH5158, and 6I have commandedH6680 the ravensH6158 to provideH3557 foodH3557 for you thereH8033.” 5So he wentH1980 and didH6213 everything according to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, for he wentH1980 and livedH3427 by the brookH5158 CherithH3747, whichH834 is 7eastH5921H6440 of the JordanH3383. 6And the ravensH6158 broughtH935 him breadH3899 and meatH1320 in the morningH1242 and breadH3899 and meatH1320 in the eveningH6153, and he would drinkH8354 from the brookH5158. 7But it happenedH1961 afterH4480H7093 a whileH3117 that the brookH5158 driedH3001 upH3001, becauseH3588 there was noH3808 rainH1653 in the landH776.
