Exegesis
The subject is expanded by apposition in YHWH Elohei Yisraʾel {יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל | Yəhōwāh ʾĕlōhê yiśrāʾēl}, linking the covenant name with a national title to emphasize that the One speaking is Israel’s God.
In context — 1 Kings 17:14
For thus says the LORD , the God of Israel : The jar of flour will not be used up, and the jug of oil will not be lacking, until the day the LORD gives rain upon the face of the ground.
