Elijah
Prophets and Exile
One of Israel's greatest prophets, victor on Mount Carmel, taken up to heaven.
Micaiah
Micaiah was a faithful prophet of the Lord during the reign of King Ahab. When King Ahab of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah joined forces against Ramoth-gilead, Micaiah refused to flatter the king and declared only what Jehovah spoke to him.
Ahab
United Kingdom
Ahab, son of Omri, reigned over the northern kingdom of Israel from Samaria and Jezreel, and is judged by Scripture as having done more evil in the sight of the LORD than all who were before him, largely through the influence of Jezebel and the worship of Baal.
Asa
Asa was the third king of the kingdom of Judah, great-grandson of David, who reigned for forty-one years. He followed his ancestor David in doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord and carried out religious reforms, removing the high places and idolatrous worship.
Jeroboam
Jeroboam, once a servant of Solomon, was prophesied by Ahijah at Shiloh to reign over ten tribes; after becoming king, he set up golden calves at Dan and Bethel, leading the northern kingdom into idolatry.
Jezebel
Jezebel was the wife of King Ahab of northern Israel, notorious for promoting Baal worship and persecuting the prophets of Yahweh, becoming the biblical archetype of wickedness and idolatry.
