Dearth:
a scarcity of provisions (1Ki 17). There were frequent dearths in Palestine. In the days of Abram there was a "famine in the land" (Gen 12:10), so also in the days of Jacob (47:4,13). We read also of dearths in the time of the judges (Rth 1:1), and of the kings (2Sa 21:1; 1Ki 18:2; 2Ki 4:38; 8:1).
In New Testament times there was an extensive famine in Palestine (Act 11:28) in the fourth year of the reign of the emperor Claudius (A.D. 44 and 45).
Dearth: A Cutting off of Rain.
The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the DEARTH. Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up. And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads. Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads. (Jeremiah 14:1-4)
