Contextual Overview

¹ Now Elijah the Tishbite was a prophet from the settlers in Gilead. "I serve the Lord , the God of Israel," Elijah said to Ahab. "As surely as the Lord lives, no rain or dew will fall during the next few years unless I command it." ² Then the Lord spoke his word to Elijah: ³ "Leave this place and go east and hide near Kerith Ravine east of the Jordan River. ⁴ You may drink from the stream, and I have commanded ravens to bring you food there." ⁵ So Elijah did what the Lord said; he went to Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and lived there. ⁶ The birds brought Elijah bread and meat every morning and evening, and he drank water from the stream. ⁷ After a while the stream dried up because there was no rain.
