1 Kings 17:1-7
A Widow Sustains Elijah
17Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was of 1,athe settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “bAs Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, surely cthere shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word.” 2Then the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, 3“Go away from here and turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, which is 1east of the Jordan. 4“And it will be that you will drink of the brook, and aI have commanded the ravens to sustain you there.” 5So he went and did according to the word of Yahweh, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith, which is 1east of the Jordan. 6And the ravens were bringing him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he would drink from the brook. 7Now it happened after a while that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
