A successive number of kings rule of Israel. None of them follow the ways of the Lord, and are replaced by others. Eventually, a king by the name of Ahab takes the throne. If it were not enough that he followed the scandalous ways of his predecessors, he also married a woman who taught the nation to worship false idols. To this day, Jezebel is not a name associated with virtue.
But God was not without a voice in Israel. Elijah, the prophet, still stood as a representative of the Lord Most High; and he proved beyond any doubt that the God of Israel was not finished with His people, nor would He allow His people to continue in their sinful ways.
