1Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, 'As the Lord, the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall certainly be neither dew nor rain during these years, except by my word.' 2Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, 3Go away from here and turn eastward, and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. 4And it shall be that you will drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to provide food for you there.' 5So he went and did everything according to the word of the Lord, for he went and lived by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. 6And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he would drink from the brook. 7But it happened after a while that the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.King James Version

1And 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. 2And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, 3Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 4And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. 5So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 6And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook. 7And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.Christian Standard Bible
2Then the word of the Lord came to him:
3"Leave here, turn eastward, and hide at the Wadi Cherith where it enters the Jordan.
4You are to drink from the wadi. I have commanded the ravens to provide for you there."
5So he proceeded to do what the Lord commanded. Elijah left and lived at the Wadi Cherith where it enters the Jordan.
6The ravens kept bringing him bread and meat in the morning and in the evening, and he would drink from the wadi.
7After a while, the wadi dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
