Old Testament1 KingsThe Ravens Feed Elijah · 17:1–717:1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto 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.17:2 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,17:3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.17:4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.17:5 So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.17:6 And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.17:7 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
