Elijah Predicts a Drought

1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, of 1Tishbea in Gilead, said to Ahab, 2"As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, 3before whom I stand, 4there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word."
2 And the word of the LORD came to him:
3 "Depart from here and turn eastward and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan.
4 You shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there."
5 So he went and did according to the word of the LORD. He went and lived by the brook Cherith that is east of the Jordan.
6 And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.
7 And after a while the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
