1 Kings 17:1-6

The Message Bible MSG

1 And then this happened: Elijah the Tishbite, from among the settlers of Gilead, confronted Ahab: "As surely as God lives, the God of Israel before whom I stand in obedient service, the next years are going to see a total drought - not a drop of dew or rain unless I say otherwise."

2 God then told Elijah,

3 "Get out of here, and fast. Head east and hide out at the Kerith Ravine on the other side of the Jordan River.

4 You can drink fresh water from the brook; I've ordered the ravens to feed you."

5 Elijah obeyed God's orders. He went and camped in the Kerith canyon on the other side of the Jordan.

6 And sure enough, ravens brought him his meals, both breakfast and supper, and he drank from the brook.

New International Version NIV

1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.”

2 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah:

3 “Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan.

4 You will drink from the brook, and I have directed the ravens to supply you with food there.”

5 So he did what the LORD had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there.

6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.
