(41) "And Elijah said unto Ahab, 'Get thee up, eat and drink, 

 for there is a sound of abundance of rain." 



[Marginal date B.C. 906.J (45) "And it came to pass in the 

 meanwhile, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and 

 there was a great rain." 



This drought is fourteen cycles of 57 years after Pharoah's 

 in B.C. 1708. Its place on the diagram will be seen to be 

 sixteen cycles of 171 years before A.D. 1826, when the 

 drought commenced in B.C. 910, and extended to B.C. 906 

 = A.D. 1830. 



The drought occurred in Samaria at the same time as 

 drought existed on the Nile. 



The termination of the drought was marked by the great 

 rain mentioned in I Ivings win, 45, which does nor appeal- 

 in the Nile curve at this place, but there is a tendency for 

 heavy rain to occur at this period as shown by the break 

 in the drought in A.D. 1887 (see Nile's curve), a peculiarity 

 which is seen in the Lake George curve at the same date, 

 as well as all other stations in Australia. It is also notice- 

 able in the Padua curve in A.D. 1773. It is, therefore, 

 highly probable that this rain was experienced in Palestine 

 at the date given, namely, B.C. 906. 



Elisha's Drought.- [Marginal date B.C. 891.] II Kings viii^ 

 1. "Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored 

 to life, saying, 'Arise, and go thou and thine household, and 

 s.ijourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn; for the Lord hath called 

 for a famine ; and it shall come upon the land seven years." 



(2) "And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man 

 of God; and she went with her hor,.-vhi>id, ;ui.l snj ho ..,] in r.h#> 

 land of the Philistines seven years."
