1
And Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, By the living Lord, the God of Israel, whose servant I am, there will be no dew or rain in these years, but only at my word.
2
Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
3
Go from here in the direction of the east, and keep yourself in a secret place by the stream Cherith, east of Jordan.
4
The water of the stream will be your drink, and by my orders the ravens will give you food there.
5
So he went and did as the Lord said, living by the stream Cherith, east of Jordan.
