1And Elijah the Tishbite from Tishbe of Gilead said to Ahab, As the LORD the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew or rain these years except according to the word of my mouth.2Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying,3Depart from this place, turn eastward, and hide yourself beside the wadi Cherith that lies before the Jordan.4You shall drink from the wadi, and I have commanded the ravens to provide for you there.5So he went and acted according to the word of the LORD; he went and stayed beside the wadi Cherith that lies before the Jordan.6The ravens kept bringing him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the wadi.
