'Wadi' in the Bible

Then I will lure Sisera commander of Jabin’s forces, his chariots, and his army at the Wadi Kishon to fight against you, and I will hand him over to you.’”

Sisera summoned all his 900 iron chariots and all the people who were with him from Harosheth of the Nations to the Wadi Kishon.

Saul came to the city of Amalek and set up an ambush in the wadi.

Instead, he took his staff in his hand and chose five smooth stones from the wadi and put them in the pouch, in his shepherd’s bag. Then, with his sling in his hand, he approached the Philistine.

David and the 600 men with him went as far as the Wadi Besor, where 200 men who were to remain behind would stop.

They stopped because they were too exhausted to cross the Wadi Besor. David and 400 of the men continued in pursuit.

When David came to the 200 men who had been too exhausted to go with him and had been left at the Wadi Besor, they came out to meet him and to meet the troops with him. When David approached the men, he greeted them,

“Leave here, turn eastward, and hide yourself at the Wadi Cherith where it enters the Jordan.

You are to drink from the wadi. I have commanded the ravens to provide for you there.”

So he did what the Lord commanded. Elijah left and lived by the Wadi Cherith where it enters the Jordan.

The ravens kept bringing him bread and meat in the morning and in the evening, and he drank from the wadi.

After a while, the wadi dried up because there had been no rain in the land.

Ahab said to Obadiah, “Go throughout the land to every spring of water and to every wadi. Perhaps we’ll find grass so we can keep the horses and mules alive and not have to destroy any cattle.”

Then Elijah ordered them, “Seize the prophets of Baal! Do not let even one of them escape.” So they seized them, and Elijah brought them down to the Wadi Kishon and slaughtered them there.

Then he said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Dig ditch after ditch in this wadi.’

For the Lord says, ‘You will not see wind or rain, but the wadi will be filled with water, and you will drink—you and your cattle and your animals.’

My brothers are as treacherous as a wadi,as seasonal streams that overflow

As water disappears from the seaand a river becomes parched and dry,

So they carry their wealth and belongingsover the Wadi of the Willows.

On that daythe Lord will thresh grain from the Euphrates Riveras far as the Wadi of Egypt,and you Israelites will be gathered one by one.

Your portion is among the smooth stones of the wadi;indeed, they are your lot.You have even poured out a drink offering to them;you have offered a grain offering;should I be satisfied with these?

This is what the Lord says:Look, waters are rising from the northand becoming an overflowing wadi.They will overflow the land and everything in it,the cities and their inhabitants.The people will cry out,and every inhabitant of the land will wail.
