1 Kings 17:1-9

1 Kings 17:1-9 CSB

Now Elijah  the Tishbite, from the Gilead settlers,  , said to Ahab, “As the LORD God of Israel lives,  in whose presence I stand, there will be no dew or rain during these years except by my command! ”  Then the word of the LORD came to him: “Leave here, turn eastward, and hide  at the Wadi Cherith where it enters the Jordan. You are to drink from the wadi. I have commanded the ravens  to provide for you there.” So he proceeded to do what the LORD commanded. Elijah left and lived at the Wadi Cherith where it enters the Jordan. The ravens kept bringing him bread and meat in the morning and in the evening,  and he would drink from the wadi. After a while, the wadi dried up because there had been no rain in the land. Then the word of the LORD came to him: “Get up, go to Zarephath  that belongs to Sidon and stay there. Look, I have commanded a woman who is a widow to provide for you there.”
