1 Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the sojourners of Gilead, said to Ahab, As Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
2 The word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
3 Get you hence, and turn you eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
4 It shall be, that you shall drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.
5 So he went and did according to the word of Yahweh; for he went and lived by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
6 The ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
7 It happened after a while, that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
