Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the LORD , the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, surely there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word."
2
The word of the LORD came to him, saying,
3
"Go away from here and turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan.
4
"It shall be that you will drink of the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to provide for you there."
5
So he went and did according to the word of the LORD , for he went and lived by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan.
