1
And Elijah the Tishbite [who was] of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, [As] the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
2
And the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
3
Depart hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that [is] before Jordan.
4
And it shall be, [that] thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
5
So he went and did according to the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that [is] before Jordan.
