Synopsis: In this lesson we see the wickedness of Jezebel and the influence that she had on her weak husband, King Ahab. Elijah boldly comes back into the presence of those who sought to kill him to bring the message of the Lord. He is contrasted with King Jehoshaphat who brings about great reforms for Judah. Yet Jehoshaphat foolishly married the daughter of Abah and brought evil on himself.
