1 Kings 15 - 17

The kings of Judah lead the people, but do not follow the ways of God's law.  They engage in wars and battles, but do not readily acknowledge God's presence and provision.  Meanwhile, in Israel, things are not much better.  The kings that lead the people continue to displease God with their actions, attitudes and decisions.
God, however, did have His spokesmen.  The prophet Elijah predicted a drought in the nation of Israel - and it came to pass.  While the nation suffered, God provided for His prophet by feeding him supernaturally. Elijah encounters a widow and provides for her needs, too - including raising her son from the dead.
