''As the Lord the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dew nor rain these years except by my words''. Who was the Israelite king during the period of the drought?

Answer Details

The Israelite king during the period of drought was Ahab. The statement quoted is made by the prophet Elijah in the Bible in 1 Kings 17:1. Elijah was a prophet during the reign of King Ahab, who was known for his wickedness and disobedience to God. In response to Ahab's sins, Elijah prophesied that there would be a drought in the land of Israel, and that there would be no dew or rain except by his words. This drought lasted for three years, and it was a punishment from God for the sins of Ahab and his people. So, the answer is B: Ahab.
