Welcome back to Reading with Ben! Let's continue the lecture on the book of 1 Kings.
This is episode #09 chapters 17 & 18.
1 Kings Chapter 17, begins with the prophet Elijah telling King Ahab that there will be a drought that will only end when the Lord says it will. Then God tells Elijah to leave the town and hide in a ravine that lies east of Jordan. Elijah obeys and goes to hide in the Kerith Ravine and is fed by ravens and drinks water from the brook there.
1 Kings Chapter 18, The Lord told Elijah to go to Ahab and then he would send rain to Israel. During this time, Samaria was experiencing a very severe famine. The king had summoned Obadiah who was his palace administrator.
