The third item to notice about Micaiah is his response (22:15-28). After Micaiah swears to only speak what the Lord speaks, Ahab asks him whether or not the Lord supports his plan against Ramoth Gilead. Micaiah initially replies in the same way as the other prophets, but Ahab is skeptical (22:15). As we mentioned earlier, Ahab’s skepticism stemmed from Micaiah’s reputation.

some of its practices continually change). Preservation societies, on the other hand, continually shift their Orthopraxis to accommodate the congregational sensitivity. Jeremiah 's cracked cistern symbolizes the latter: i.e., "leaky" self-willed assemblies that minister only to certain types of individuals.

Ahab disregarded this and went to war disguised as a commoner. An arrow was shot between his armour, he died later that evening and his body was returned to Samaria where he was buried. His blood stained chariot was washed by the pool in Samaria and dogs licked his blood as prophesied by the prophet Elijah. “38 They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; the dogs licked up his blood, and the prostitutes washed themselves in it, according to the word of the Lord that he had spoken.” i…

Old Testament, we see great prophets emerge during times of great injustice. Among these great prophets is Elijah, an Israelite and worshiper of God under during the reign of Ahab and his murderous, idolatrous wife Jezebel. Ahab himself let his uncertainty and fear drive his passivity, which, even more so, gave way to Jezebel’s evil desires. As Ahab & Jezebel ruled, a severe famine and drought spread across Samaria. According to scholars, this devastation in Samaria lasted anywhere from two…
