Famine


Abram

After receiving the Abrahamic Covenant and learning about the Promised Land of Canaan, Abram traveled in Canaan until severe famine drove him to Egypt. (Genesis 12)

David

There was a 3-year famine in Israel under King David. David sought the LORD and went to resolve the bloodguilt of Saul's house by handing over 7 of Saul's sons to be hanged. When Saul, Jonathan, and his hanged sons were properly interred in Kish's tomb, God responded to the plea for the land. (2 Samuel 21:1-14)
