So we've switched to the other side of Israel and the same thing is happening. Kings, Kings, and more Kings. They were all evil. Then a king named Ahab came along, who was worse than all of them. He married a woman named Jezebel. Ge whiz, even her name sounds bad! Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe [a] 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." Elijah is one of my favorite prophets. 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." Whoooooo! Fed by ravens! That would be a pretty cool treat from GOD. 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. It makes you wonder were they got the bread and and meats.
