124 | 2 Kings 1-3: Fire Came Down From the Sky 21.10.2020

Sometimes even kings are clumsy and tumble through lattices. Instead of turning to Yahweh during his recovery, Ahaziah, sought the counsel of another gold.

122 | 1 Kings 19-20: Unanswered Prayers 30.09.2020

Jezebel threatens Elijah, who somehow ends up with jurisdiction over the King of Syria. There's another case of who kills who (should this be considered a biblical trope?), and someone other than our hosts are boozing it up.
