1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, from the Gilead settlers, said to Ahab, "As the Lord God of Israel lives, I stand before Him, and there will be no dew or rain during these years except by my command!"

2 Then a revelation from the Lord came to him:

3 "Leave here, turn eastward, and hide yourself at the Wadi Cherith where it enters the Jordan.

4 You are to drink from the wadi. I have commanded the ravens to provide for you there."

5 So he did what the Lord commanded. Elijah left and lived by the Wadi Cherith where it enters the Jordan.
