Melachim Alef 17:2 In-Context

1 7 And Eliyahu HaTishbi, who was of the inhabitants of Tishbe-Gil`ad, said unto Ach’av (King Ahab of Israel), As Hashem Elohei Yisroel liveth, before whom I stand [ministering, as minister], there shall not be tal nor matar these shanim [ahead], except according to my word.

2 And the Devar Hashem came unto him, saying,

3 Get thee from here, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself in the Wadi Kerit, that is near the Yarden.

4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the orevvim (ravens) to feed thee there.

5 So he went and did according to the Devar Hashem; for he went and dwelt in the Wadi Kerit, that is near the Yarden.
