SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:7

Pasados algunos días, se secó el arroyo; porque no había llovido sobre la tierra.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 17:7

Verse 7. The
brook dried up] Because there had been no rain in the land for some time, God having sent this drought as a testimony against the idolatry of the people: see Deuteronomy xi. 16, 17.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-7 -
God wonderfully suits men to the work he designs them for. The time were fit for an Elijah; an Elijah was fit for them. The Spirit of the Lord knows how to fit men for the occasions. Elijah let Ahab know tha God was displeased with the idolaters, and would chastise them by the want of rain, which it was not in the power of the gods they served to bestow. Elijah was commanded to hide himself. If Providence calls us to solitude and retirement, it becomes us to go: when we cannot be useful we must be patient; and when we cannot work for God, we must sit stil quietly for him. The ravens were appointed to bring him meat, and di so. Let those who have but from hand to mouth, learn to live upo Providence, and trust it for the bread of the day, in the day. God could have sent angels to minister to him; but he chose to show that he can serve his own purposes by the meanest creatures, as effectually a by the mightiest. Elijah seems to have continued thus above a year. The natural supply of water, which came by common providence, failed; but the miraculous supply of food, made sure to him by promise, failed not If the heavens fail, the earth fails of course; such are all ou creature-comforts: we lose them when we most need them, like brooks in summer. But there is a river which makes glad the city of God, tha never runs dry, a well of water that springs up to eternal life. Lord give us that living water! (1Ki 17:8-16)
