The Ravens Feed Elijah

Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead,
said to Ahab,
"As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives,
whom I serve,
there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years
except at My word."

Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah:
"Leave here, turn eastward
and hide in the Kerith Ravine,
east of the Jordan.
You will drink from the brook,
and I have ordered the ravens to feed you there.

So he did what the Lord had told him.
He went to the Kerith Ravine,
east of the Jordan,
and stayed there.
The ravens brought him
bread and meat in the morning
and bread and meat in the evening,
and he drank from the brook.

(I Kings 17:1-6)
