1Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the foreigners of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.”

2Yahweh’s word came to him, saying,

3“Go away from here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.

4It shall be, that you shall drink of the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”

5So he went and did according to Yahweh’s word; for he went and lived by the brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.
