Elijah's disciple Elisha follows in his master's footsteps. We are impressed by his miracles, but troubled by his wrath.

We read of the ascent of Elijah "into the heavens" and the end of his remarkable "first" career.

King Ahaziah falls ill and he sends messengers to a Phillistine god. Elijah is sent to let him know that he should've petitioned the God of Israel. Ahaziah thus meets an untimely end.

Ahab tries unsuccessfully to escape the prophecy regarding his death, but he dies a heroic death in battle. Yehoshaphat's attempt at reuniting the kingdom has mixed results, and the next generation of leaders take their place.

Ahab wants to go to war, and all of his "yes-men" tell him what he wants to hear. However the prophet Michayahu doesn't tow the line. The "ghost" of Navoth is going to take his revenge.

Elijah delivers a harsh prophecy regarding the future of Ahab and his family, and Ahab in humbled, but not for long.

Ahab wants a nice vineyard, and he the owner Navot doesn't want to sell. Jezebel arranges for the murder of the innocent Navot in a despicable act of thievery.

Ahab wins another stunning victory against Ben-Hadad, only this time he makes a grave error.

Ben-Hadad of Aram leads a massive attack against Israel, and Ahab follows the advice of a prophet of God and leads the people to a surprising and daring victory.

Elijah runs for his life and travels to the holy mountain to find God. However, in his zeal for vengeance in God's sake Elijah learns that his path of zeal and violence is not the path God wants from His prophets. Elijah must step down and appoint Elisha as his successor.

Elijah asks God for a miracle to prove to the people and Ahab who the One True God is.

We read of the encounter between Obadyahu and Elijah, two prophets who had very different ways of dealing with the challenge of the evil Kingdom of Ahab.

We learn of one of the most important prophets, Elijah, and his differences with the evil King Ahab. Living as God commands versus the arrogance of trying to manipulate the gods.

The Northern Kingdom descends into the depths of idolatry and political chaos.

We read of civil war between the North and South, some questionable alliances made by King Asa, and how Ba'asha deposed Nadav in a military coup.

We read of the descendants of Rehoboam, Aviyam and Asa, one who continued in his father's evil path, and the other who restored the worship of God among the people.

The people of Judah stray from God just as their Northern brethren did, and Rehoboam suffers an embarrassing military defeat.
