1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. |
2 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, |
3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. |
4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. |
5 So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. |
6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook. |
7 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. |
