Who started the school of prophets in the Bible?

In Jewish tradition, there was a 'school of Eliyahu (Elijah) teaching' which was said to have ended a 2,000 period of spiritual 'tohu.' Some have dated this to the time of Abraham, circa 1925 BC.If by school you mean a gathering of those who prophesy, then you may consider 1 Samuel 10 and even 'advisors' in the Book of Daniel.Additionally:According to "Halley's Bible Handbook" (Classic Ed.; p.179, 'Prophets'):"...Samuel, it seems, was founder of a regular order of prophets, with schools, first at Ramah (I Samuel 19:20), and afterward, at Bethel, Jericho and Gilgal (II Kings 2:3, 5; 4:38). The priesthood had become quite degenerate and contemporaneous with the orgainzation of the Kingdom. Samuel, it seems, initiated these schools as a sort of moral check on both priests and kings.These Prophets functioned through a period of some 300 years before the Prophets who wrote the closing 17 books of the Old Testament. They are called "Oral" Prophets, to distinguish them from the "Literary" Prophets who wrote the books.The leading "Oral" Prophets were: Samuel, organizer of the Kingdom; Nathan, adviser to David; Ahijah, adviser to Jeroboam; Elijah and Elisha, who led the grand fight against Baalism."

A:We do not know exactly where 1 and 2 Chronicles were written, but we do know they were written during or, more likely, just after the Babylonian Exile. If they were written during the Exile, then they were written in or near Babylon. Otherwise, they were written in the city of Jerusalem.

Where does the bible speak about the second school of prophets?

I am sorry my friend but the Bible does not speak of a school of the prophets, 1st neither 2nd. I have no doubt that before and perhaps after the death of Christ, the prophets met to receive instruction from on high. This however is only this writers opinion. Peter, who after the death of Christ was President of the church would have given some heavenly instruction to the other eleven.Answer:The Bible speaks of the "school of the prophets" in guarded language [KJV; "the sons of the prophets"]. But, according to Matthew Henry:"...The priests and the Levites were gone to Judah and Jerusalem, 2 Chron.xi. 13, 14, but instead of them God raised up prophets, who read and expounded the word. They probably were from the schools of the prophets, first set up by Samuel[emphasis, mine]. They had not the spirit of prophecy as Elijah, but taught the people to keep close to the God of Israel..." (Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary: I Kings 18.Ver. 1-16)When Samuel anointed Saul, he told him:"...thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy..." (I Sam.10:5).Of this, Matthew Henry says:"...From the time of Samuel there appears to have been schools, or places where pious young men were brought up in the knowledge of Divine things [emphasis, mine]..." (Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary: I Sam.10.Ver. 1-8)The "removal" of Elijah is addressed in II Kings 2, where "the sons of the prophets" were involved; of which Matthew Henry says:"...The Lord had let Elijah know that his time was at hand. He therefore went to the DIFFERENT schools of the prophets... [emphasis, mine]-- [KJV reads; "...And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha..." - verse 3] --"...to give them his last exhortations and blessing. The removal of Elijah was a type and figure of the ascension of Christ, and the opening of the kingdom of heaven to all believers. Elisha had long followed Elijah, and he would not leave him now when he hoped for the parting blessing..." (Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary: II Kings 2.Ver. 1-8)According to II Kings 2 there was a school of "the sons of the prophets" at both Bethel [verse 3] and Jericho [verse 5].We're also told that: "...Elisha came again to Gilgal... and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him..." (II Kings 4:38).Additionally -- Halley's Bible Handbook says:"...Samuel, it seems, was founder of a regular order of prophets, with schools, first at Ramah (I Samuel 19:20); and afterward at Bethel, Jericho and Gilgal, (II Kings 2:3, 5; 4:38). The priesthood had become quite degenerate, and contemporaneous with the organization of the Kingdom. Samuel, it seems, initiated these schools as a sort of moral check on both priests and kings.These prophets functioned through a period of some 300 years before the time of the Prophets who wrote the closing 17 books of the Old Testament. They are called "Oral" Prophets, to distinguish them from the "Literary" Prophets who wrote the books...". (Halley's Bible Handbook: I Samuel; Prophets -- Classic Edition; p.179)However... 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or any other numbers of schools of prophets... the Bible doesn't discuss.
