1. Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As certainly as the Lord God of Israel lives (whom I serve), there will be no dew or rain in the years ahead unless I give the command.”
2. The Lord told him:
3. “Leave here and travel eastward. Hide out in the Kerith Valley near the Jordan.
4. Drink from the stream; I have already told the ravens to bring you food there.”
