At Horeb God appears unto him, sending him to anoint Hazael, Jehu, and Elisha 19. Elisha, taking leave of his friends, follows Elijah Now Ahab told Jezebel everything that Elijah had done Ahab, the king of Israel, is portrayed as a weak ruler heavily influenced by his wife, Jezebel. This phrase highlights the communication between Ahab and Jezebel, indicating a partnership in their rule, though Jezebel often takes the lead in spiritual and political matters. Elijah's actions, particularly the contest on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18), were a direct challenge to the worship of Baal, which Jezebel fervently supported. This sets the stage for Jezebel's reaction, as she is known for her ruthless defense of Baal worship, as seen in her previous actions against the prophets of the Lord (1 Kings 18:4). and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword Persons / Places / Events 1. AhabThe king of Israel, known for his weak leadership and for being heavily influenced by his wife, Jezebel. His reign is marked by idolatry and conflict with the prophet Elijah. 2. Jezebel The wife of King Ahab, notorious for her promotion of Baal worship in Israel and her opposition to the prophets of Yahweh. She is a central antagonist in the account of Elijah. 3. Elijah A major prophet in Israel who performed many miracles and stood against the idolatry of Ahab and Jezebel. He is known for his boldness and faith in God. 4. Prophets of Baal These were the prophets who served the Canaanite god Baal. Elijah confronted and defeated them on Mount Carmel, demonstrating the power of the true God. 5. Mount Carmel The site of the dramatic confrontation between Elijah and the prophets of Baal, where God demonstrated His power by sending fire from heaven. Teaching Points The Influence of LeadershipAhab's failure to lead righteously highlights the importance of godly leadership. Leaders must seek God's guidance and resist ungodly influences. The Power of God vs. Idolatry Elijah's victory over the prophets of Baal demonstrates God's supremacy over false gods. Believers are called to trust in God's power and reject idolatry in all forms. Courage in the Face of Opposition Elijah's boldness in confronting Ahab and Jezebel serves as an example for believers to stand firm in their faith, even when facing significant opposition. The Role of Prophets Elijah's role as a prophet underscores the importance of speaking God's truth, regardless of the consequences. Believers are encouraged to be faithful messengers of God's word. The Consequences of Sin Ahab and Jezebel's actions lead to severe consequences, reminding us that sin has repercussions. Repentance and obedience to God are crucial.(1, 2) There is a certain grandeur of fearlessness and ruthlessness in the message of Jezebel, which marks her character throughout, and places it in striking contrast with the vacillating impressibility of Ahab, whom she treats with natural scorn. (See 21:7.) Ahab, as before, remains passive; he has no courage, perhaps no wish, to attack Elijah, before whom he had quailed; but he cares not, or dares not, to restrain Jezebel. She disdains to strike secretly and without warning: in fact, her message seems intended to give the opportunity for a flight, which might degrade Elijah in the eyes of the people. We note that the prophet (see 1Kings 18:46) had not ventured to enter Jezreel till he should know how his deadly foe would receive the news of the great day at Carmel.Verse 1. - And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain [Heb. and all which he had slain.
