Elijah Visits a Widow in Sidonian Territory
17:1 Elijah the Tishbite , from Tishbe in Gilead , said to Ahab , “As certainly as the Lord God of Israel lives (whom I serve ), there will be no dew or rain in the years ahead unless I give the command .”
17:2 The Lord told him:
17:3 “Leave here and travel eastward . Hide out in the Kerith Valley near the Jordan .
17:4 Drink from the stream ; I have already told the ravens to bring you food there .”
17:5 So he did as the Lord told him; he went and lived in the Kerith Valley near the Jordan .
17:6 The ravens would bring him bread and meat each morning and evening , and he would drink from the stream .
17:7 After a while , the stream dried up because there had been no rain in the land .
17:8 The Lord told him,
17:9 “Get up , go to Zarephath in Sidonian territory, and live there . I have already told a widow who lives there to provide for you.”
