1 Kings 17:1-7

1And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word.”

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

3“Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan.

4And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”

5So he went and did according to the word of the Lord, for he went and stayed by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan.

6The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.

7And it happened after a while that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
