Lecz po małym czasie wysechł on potok, bo nie szedł deszcz na ziemię.
Lecz po upływie pewnego czasu potok wysechł, ponieważ w kraju nie było deszczu.
Jednak po pewnym czasie, ten potok wysechł, bowiem w kraju nie było deszczu.
Lecz po wyjściu niektórych dni wysechł on potok; bo nie padał deszcz na ziemię.
Lecz po pewnym czasie potok wysechł, gdyż nie było deszczu w tej ziemi.

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 ×קץ ×××× "in, vel a, fine dierum", Pagninus, Montanus, &c. y Apud Joseph. Antiqu. l. 8. c. 13. sect. 2.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 17:7. 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 11:16-17.
