King Ahab and his wife Jezebel were the evil rulers of the northern kingdom. Elijah 3 years prior proclaimed there would be a drought and no rain, but now God tells Elijah to go and talk to Ahab and there will be rain. Elijah tells Ahab to gather all the prophets of Baal and the prophets of Asherah on Mount Carmel. It was the false prophets of Baal (450) that were killed ( I Kings 18.)

Who was Elijah servant in first kings chapter 19 verse 3?

It wasn't Ahab, here is 1 kings 18:40-50 40 Then Elijah commanded them, "Seize the prophets of Baal. Don't let anyone get away!" They seized them, and Elijah had them brought down to the Kishon Valley and slaughtered there. 41 And Elijah said to Ahab, "Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain." 42 So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees. 43 "Go and look toward the sea," he told his servant. And he went up and looked."There is nothing there," he said.Seven times Elijah said, "Go back." 44 The seventh time the servant reported, "A cloud as small as a man's hand is rising from the sea."So Elijah said, "Go and tell Ahab, 'Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.' " 45 Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain came on and Ahab rode off to Jezreel. 46 The power of the LORD came upon Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel. this is from biblegateway.com the NIV of the bible.


What are the achievements of prophet Elijah?

Prophet Elijah showed God's power at Mt Carmel. he showed God's power through restoring Yahweism back. People had been into apostacy, worshipping baal and asherah. Other prophets were in hiding from Jezebel yet Elijah was not, his exterminating the opposing prophetic career. Pophet Elijah delt with social injustice where he delt with Naboth's vineyard and the Ahab confrontation. He is credited by the still small voice of inspiration as opposed to violent ecstacy. Elijah's miracles e.g at the contest on Carmel and the raising of the widow's son. Him becomingg a prophetoic successor to himself in the person of Elisha.

Who was Elisha?

Another answer from our community:Elisha was the disciple of Elijah chosen by God. When Elijah ascended to heaven Elisha took on his place as the main Prophet to Israel.1 kings 19 (speaking to Elijah) 15 The LORD said to him, "Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram. 16 Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet. 17 Jehu will put to death any who escape the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death any who escape the sword of Jehu. 18 Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel---all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and all whose mouths have not kissed him."
