Elijah

1 Kings 17

After King Solomon died, many kings ruled Israel, one after the other. Some were good, some were bad. King Ahab was very bad. He turned his back on God.

During King Ahab's time, there was a man called Elijah who listened to God and spoke for God. He was a prophet.

One day, Elijah told King Ahab, "God has shown me there will be no rain for the next few years unless I say so." Then Elijah went off to hide in a place that God showed to him. Each day, God sent ravens to carry meat and bread for Elijah to eat. The birds came in the morning and the evening. And Elijah drank water from the stream.
