This is the chapter in which Elijah ascends heavenwards in a chariot of fire.But is this in fact a story about Elijah, or possibly it is concerned with his protégé, Elisha?
King Ahaziyahu (Israel) has a domestic accident and is inured, bedridden and concerned for his life.He sends messengers to the God of Ekron: "Will I live?"Elijah is sent to intercept the King's delegates.The critical narrative here is the question of who controls the delegates: Will the king's servants follow the king's instructions or Elijah's, in God's name?
Today we study about Yehoshafat King of Yehuda, righteous king by any assessment but also a man who seeks unity with the Northern Kingdom. Tragically this pursuit has devastating consequences.
This is the Bible's quintessential story of governmental corruption.The King wants a Nabot's vineyard. Nabot won't sell it. How will the king obtain the vineyard? How does one commit the perfect murder? And who gets the blame?
In our chapter Ahab goes to war with Aram - twice.Each time, God sends a prophet to support Ahab.Is God on Ahab's side? Have things shifted in Ahab's royal court?
