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.
