1. ELIJAH THE Tishbite, of the temporary residents 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 but according to My word.
2. And the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
3. Go from here and turn east and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, east of the Jordan.
4. You shall drink of the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.
