And Eliiah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said vnto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liueth, before whome I stand, there shall not be deaw nor raine these yeres, but according to my word.

And the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying,

Get thee hence, and turne thee Eastward, and hide thy selfe by the brooke Cherith, that is before Iordane.

And it shall bee, that thou shalt drinke of the brooke, and I haue commanded the rauens to feed thee there.

So hee went, and did according vnto the word of the Lord: for hee went and dwelt by the brooke Cherith, that is before Iordane.

And the rauens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the euening: and hee dranke of the brooke.

And it came to passe after a while, that the brooke dryed vp, because there had beene no raine in the land.
