# the word of Yahweh came

This idiom is used to introduce a special message from God. See how you translated this in [1 Kings 6:11](../06/11.md). AT: "Yahweh spoke his word" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])

# send rain on the land

"cause rain to fall on the land"

# now the famine was severe

The word "now" is used here to mark a break in the main storyline. Here the writer tells background information about how the famine had affected Samaria. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-background]])
