Contextual Overview

1 Elijah was a prophet from the town of Tishbe in Gilead. He said to King Ahab, "I serve the Lord , the God of Israel. By his power, I promise that no dew or rain will fall for the next few years. The rain will fall only when I command it to fall." 2 Then the Lord said to Elijah, 3 "Leave this place and go east. Hide near Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan River. 4 You can get your water from that stream, and I have commanded ravens to bring food to you there." 5 So Elijah did what the Lord told him to do. He went to live near Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan River. 6 Ravens brought Elijah food every morning and every evening, and he drank water from the stream. 7 There was no rain, so after a while the stream became dry.
