1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, one of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab: “As Adonai God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall be no dew or rain these years, except at my word.”
2 Then the word of Adonai came to him saying:
3 “Leave this place, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Wadi Cherith, east of the Jordan.
4 It will come about that you will drink from the wadi. I have also commanded the ravens to feed you there.”
5 So he went and did according to the word of Adonai—he went and lived by the Wadi Cherith, which is east of the Jordan.
6 The ravens kept bringing him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the wadi.
7 Then it came to pass after a while that the wadi dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
