Elijah the Tishbite, who was one of the settlers 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.”
Then Yahweh’s word came to him, saying,
“Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
You shall drink from the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
So he went and did according to Yahweh’s word; for he went and lived by the brook Cherith that is before the Jordan.
The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.
