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