## 1 Kings 17:1-7 in Context (Verses 1–10 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/1-kings/17/1) And Elijah the Tishbite, *who was* of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, *As* the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.*
 
 [2 ](/kjv/1-kings/17/2) And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
 
 [3 ](/kjv/1-kings/17/3) Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that *is* before Jordan.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/1-kings/17/4) And it shall be, *that* thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/1-kings/17/5) So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that *is* before Jordan.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/1-kings/17/6) And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/1-kings/17/7) And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.*
 
 [8 ](/kjv/1-kings/17/8) ¶ And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
 
 [9 ](/kjv/1-kings/17/9) Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which *belongeth* to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/1-kings/17/10) So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman *was* there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
