Eerste Boek van Konings 17: 1-6

17:1 en Elia die Tisbiet, van die inwoners van Gilead, vir Agab gesê, “Soos die Here leef, die God van Israel, voor wie se oë ek staan, gedurende hierdie jare sal daar geen dou of reën wees nie, behalwe deur die woorde van my mond.”

17:2 En die woord van die Here het tot hom gekom, sê:

17:3 “Onttrek van hier af, en gaan na die ooste, en kruip weg by die stroom Cherith, wat oorkant die Jordaan is.

17:4 En daar moet jy uit die stroom drink. En Ek het die kraaie opdrag gegee om jou daar te voed.”

17:5 Daarom, hy het gegaan en gehandel volgens die woord van die Here. En weggaan, hy het gevestig by die stroom Cherith, wat oorkant die Jordaan is.

17:6 En die kraaie het in die môre brood en vleis na hom gedra, en so ook brood en vleis in die aand. En hy het uit die stroom gedrink.
