Day 168 - Read 1 Kings 19-20

Jezebel made a vow to kill Elijah. Elijah fled a day’s journey into the wilderness. An angel went to Elijah twice and told him to eat a cake and water. Elijah journeyed forty days and nights to Horeb. God spoke to Elijah and instructed him to return, anointing God’s chosen men as kings and as prophet. Elisha followed Elijah and assisted him. Ben-hadad, the king of Syria, provoked Ahab, the king of Israel. Israel defeated Ben-hadad. The Syrians, led by Ben-hadad, fought against Israel a second time. Israel defeated Ben-hadad a second time. Ben-hadad made an agreement with Ahab to live. A prophet used an illustration to confront Ahab’s sin against God of not killing Ben-hadad. Ahab’s life would be taken because of this sin.
