1. And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel lives, 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 you from here, and turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is east of the Jordan.
4. And it shall be, that you shall drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.
