A Widow Sustains Elijah

17 Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was of ^[a](A)the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “^(B)As Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, surely ^(C)there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word.” ² Then 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 ^[b]east of the Jordan. ⁴ And it will be that you will drink of the brook, and ^(D)I have commanded the ravens to sustain you there.” ⁵ So he went and did according to the word of Yahweh, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith, which is ^[c]east of the Jordan. ⁶ And 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. ⁷ Now it happened after a while that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
