Day 75

1 Kings 22; 2 Kings 1; 2 Kings 2; 2 Kings 3

Jehoshaphat of Judah and Ahab of Israel join forces against Syria. Ahab’s prophets foretell success. Micaiah foretells the defeat and death of Ahab. Ahab is slain and dogs lick up his blood. Jehoshaphat reigns in righteousness in Judah. Ahaziah reigns in Israel and serves Baal. Ahaziah turns to Baalzebub to learn if he will live. Elijah prophesies his death. Elijah calls down fire from heaven to consume the soldiers sent to apprehend him. Elisha and the prophets know that Elijah is to be translated. Elijah divides the waters of the Jordan and is taken up into heaven in a whirlwind. The mantle of Elijah falls on Elisha, who also divides the waters of the Jordan. Elisha heals the waters of Jericho. Youths are torn by bears for mocking Elisha. Jehoram of Israel and Jehoshaphat of Judah join forces against Moab. Elisha promises them water for their animals and victory in the war. The Moabites are defeated.
