Elijah and the widow

17 There was a prophet called Elijah who came from Tishbe in Gilead. He said to King Ahab, ‘I am a servant of the Lord, Israel's God. As surely as God lives, there will be no rain or dew for the next few years. Nothing will make the ground wet until I command it to happen.’

² Then the Lord told Elijah, ³ ‘Leave here! Go to the east. Hide in the Kerith valley, east of the Jordan River.^[a]
