1. Elijah the Tishbite from Tishbe of Gilead said to Ahab, “As Yahweh lives, the God of Israel before whom I stand, there shall surely not be dew nor rain these years except by my command.”
2. Then the word of Yahweh came to him, saying,
3. “Go from this place and turn to the east; you must hide yourself in the Wadi Kerith which faces the Jordan.
4. It shall be that you shall drink from the wadi, and I have commanded the crows to sustain you there.”
5. So he went and did according to the word of Yahweh. He went and stayed in the Wadi Kerith which faces the Jordan.
