1 Kings 17:1-9 ▼

1 And Elijah the Tishbite from the Tishbites of Gilead said to Ahab, “As YHWH, God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be these years dew and rain, except if at my word.”

2 And the word of YHWH came to him, saying,

3 “Go from this place and turn for yourself eastward, and hide by the Brook of Cherith that is on the face of the Jordan.

4 And it will come to pass that you shall drink from the brook, and the ravens I have commanded to sustain you there.”

5 And he went and did according to the word of YHWH. And he went and stayed by the Brook of Cherith that is on the face of the Jordan.

6 And the ravens brought to him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drank from the brook.

7 And it came to pass at the end of some days that the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.

8 And the word of YHWH came to him, saying,

9 “Arise, go to Zarephath, which is unto Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded there a widow woman to provide for you.”
