Verse 5 is found in chapter 17 of 1 Kings. Elijah suddenly appears before Ahab and announces that there will be no rain except according to his word. He then receives the command to hide beside the brook Cherith, where ravens feed him. The prophet enters the scene as the spokesman for a word that directly confronts royal power. The drought is presented not merely as a climatic phenomenon, but as a sign against Baal worship and Israel’s unfaithfulness.

Er aber ging hin und tat nach dem Wort des HERRN und ging weg und setzte sich am Bach Krith, der gegen den Jordan fließt.

Él fue e hizo conforme a la palabra de Jehová. Se fue y vivió junto al arroyo de Querit, que está frente al Jordán.
Il partit et fit selon la parole de l'Eternel, et il alla s'établir près du torrent de Kerith, qui est en face du Jourdain.
Egli adunque se ne andò, e fece secondo la parola del Signore, e andò, e dimorò presso al torrente Cherit, ch’è dirincontro al Giordano.
Foi, pois, e fez conforme a palavra do SENHOR; porque foi, e habitou junto ao ribeiro de Querite, que está diante do Jordão.
