1 Kings 18; 1 Kings 19; 1 Kings 20; 1 Kings 21
Elijah is sent to meet Ahab. Obadiah saves a hundred prophets and meets Elijah. Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to call down fire from heaven. They fail. He calls down fire, slays the prophets of Baal, and opens the heavens for rain. Jezebel seeks the life of Elijah. An angel sends him to Horeb. The Lord speaks to Elijah, not in the wind nor the earthquake nor the fire, but in a still, small voice. Elisha joins Elijah. Benhadad of Syria makes war with Israel. The Syrians are defeated twice. Ahab lets Benhadad go free, contrary to the will of the Lord. Ahab desires the vineyard of Naboth. Jezebel arranges for false witnesses, and Naboth is stoned for blasphemy. Elijah prophesies that Ahab and Jezebel and their house will be destroyed.
