The Brook Cherith [1]
kē´rith ( נחל כּרית , naḥal kerı̄th ; Χειμάῤῥους Χοῤῥάθ , Cheimárrhous Chorrháth ): The place where Elijah hid and was miraculously fed, after announcing the drought to Ahab ( 1 Kings 17:3 ). It is described as being "before," that is "east," of Jordan. It cannot therefore be identified with Wady el-Kelt, to the West of Jericho. The retreat must be sought in some recess of the Gilead uplands with which doubtless Elijah had been familiar in his earlier days.
