1 Kings 21:17-25 CSB

Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite: “Get up and go to meet King Ahab of Israel, who is in Samaria. He’s in Naboth’s vineyard, where he has gone to take possession of it. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Have you murdered and also taken possession? ’ Then tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: In the place where the dogs licked up Naboth’s blood, the dogs will also lick up your blood! ’ ” Ahab said to Elijah, “So, my enemy, you’ve found me, have you? ” He replied, “I have found you because you devoted yourself to do what is evil in the Lord’s sight. This is what the Lord says: ‘I am about to bring disaster on you and will eradicate your descendants: I will wipe out all of Ahab’s males, both slave and free, in Israel; I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have angered me and caused Israel to sin.’ The Lord also speaks of Jezebel: ‘The dogs will eat Jezebel in the plot of land at Jezreel: Anyone who belongs to Ahab and dies in the city, the dogs will eat, and anyone who dies in the field, the birds will eat.’ ” Still, there was no one like Ahab, who devoted himself to do what was evil in the Lord’s sight, because his wife Jezebel incited him.

14 Days in the Company of Elijah

14 Days

The towering figures who dominate the pages of 1 and 2 Kings are not the kings themselves, but the prophets, often called “men of God.” These messengers from God to the king and the people, with their faithful and often costly obedience, stand in stark contrast to the mostly bleak portrait of the monarchs of Judah and the unrelieved negative portrayal of the kings of Israel. Of these mighty people of faith, Elijah is the major player in the second half of 1 Kings. His story offers us deep lessons of faith and courage.
