The document describes Elijah's isolation and dependence on God alone for provision as he hides from King Ahab in the Kerith Ravine east of the Jordan River. Ravens bring Elijah food and he drinks from the brook, showing his total reliance on God. When the brook dries up due to the drought, God instructs Elijah to go to Zarephath of Sidon, where he continues obeying God unconditionally.
