Read 1 Kings 17.1-16
In 17.1-24: Elijah and the drought.
In verse 1: Elijah means "Yahweh is (my) God," and it sets the theme for the following chapters.
The cessation of rain shows that it is the Lord (Yahweh), not Baal, who controls the elements and therefore fertility.
In verse 3: A Wadi was a stream bed with or without water rather than a brook, as it has been translated.
In verse 9: Elijah is sent north into Phoenician territory.
The two stories that follow show Elijah's status as a miracle-working man of God.
