Commentary on 1 Kings 17:7

Theological / Devotional

Dried up. Elijah’s word to the king had gone into immediate effect. From the moment the words were uttered, there was no rain, and the whole land was becoming parched and seared. King and people refused to believe that the drought was a judgment from God. They insisted that Baal and Ashtoreth would yet give them the life-giving rain. Then the brook Cherith itself dried up.
