Chapters 17-19 are comprised of three stories: The drought, the test at Carmel and the Revelation at Chorev. The subject of the first story is the debate over Eliyahu's path and his prolonged insistence on maintaining his oath. The subject of the second story, in contrast, is how Eliyahu brought Israel back to faith in God.
