Eliyah prophesies about a coming drought

1 Ki 17:1–7

17:1 Eliyah prophesies about a coming drought

Northern kingdom

17 One day the prophet Eliyah (Elijah) from the Tishbim in the Gilead region said to Ahav, “As Yisrael’s (Israel’s) god Yahweh lives, the one who I serve, there won’t be any rain or even dew these next years unless I give the command.”[ref] 2 Then Yahweh told Eliyah, 3 “Get away from here and travel eastward towards the Kerit stream that enters the Yarden (Jordan) river to hide. 4 You’ll be able to drink from the stream, and I’ve commanded the ravens to bring food to you there.”

5 So he did what Yahweh told him, and went and lived by the Kerit stream near the Yarden. 6 Ravens brought bread and meat to him every morning and again in the evening, and he was able to drink from the stream. 7 However, the stream dried up after a while because there was no rain anywhere in the country.
