As per God’s instruction, one day Elijah went and told the King that his kingdom would not experience any rainfall for at least two years. Even the Baal they worshipped wouldn’t be able to help them. As stated, the ill-fate fell on the people and there was no rain in the country. The King and his wife wanted Elijah to be killed. God at once instructed him to move away from the place and stay safe. He would get food and water , and had to wait there until God instructed him further. Then God asked him to go to Zarepath where he would be given food and water by a widow.
