Contextual Overview
1Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was among the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, "As surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, I stand before Him, and in these years there will be neither dew nor rain except at my word!" 2Then a revelation from the LORD came to Elijah: 3"Leave here, turn eastward, and hide yourself by the Brook Cherith, east of the Jordan. 4And you are to drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there." 5So Elijah did what the LORD had told him, and he went and lived by the Brook Cherith, east of the Jordan. 6The ravens would bring him bread and meat in the morning and evening, and he would drink from the brook. 7Some time later, however, the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass after a while,.... Or "at the end of days" x, perhaps a year, which sometimes is the sense of this phrase, see
Exodus 13:10,
that the brook dried up; through the excessive heat, and for want of supplies from the springs and fountains with which it was fed, and for the following reason:
because there had been no rain in the land; from the time Elijah prayed and prophesied; of this drought mention is made in profane history: Menander, a Phoenician writer, speaks y of a drought in the times of Ithobalus (the same with Ethbaal the father of Jezebel), which lasted a whole year, and upon prayer being made there were thunder, &c.
x מקץ ימים "in, vel a, fine dierum", Pagninus, Montanus, &c. y Apud Joseph. Antiqu. l. 8. c. 13. sect. 2.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
