Key Verse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his<\/em> purpose. \u2014Romans 8:28
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key\nVerse Thought: <\/strong>Have you ever had something bad happen to you? According to\nthis verse, if we are Christians (have Jesus in our heart), and are living\naccording to God\u2019s Word doing what God wants us to do with our lives,\neverything will work out for good \u2014 even if it seems like something bad at the\ntime. In this lesson, we will see this lived out in Elijah\u2019s life. Even when\nthe king and queen wanted Elijah dead, God provided for him and took care of\nhim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasis:\n<\/strong>If we will obey God, God will provide for us and take care of us \u2014 no\nmatter what.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson Summary: <\/strong>Now that we have seen the nation of Israel\ndivide into two kingdoms, Israel\nand Judah, we\nwill begin by studying the nation Israel.\nWe will continue with Judah\nafterward. In our last lesson, we began by learning about the first three kings\nof Israel \u2014\nJeroboam, Nadab, and Baasha. Israel\nnever had a good, or godly, king. In this lesson, we will continue with the\nnext six kings \u2014 including one of the worst kings and his wicked queen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After seeing four more\nwicked kings (Elah, Zimri, Tibni, and Omri), we come to the worst king yet \u2014\nKing Ahab. After he became king, God sent His prophet, Elijah, to speak to\nwicked King Ahab. Elijah told the king that there would be no rain in the land;\nand there was a drought for over three years. God provided for Elijah during\nthe drought and sent him back to King Ahab after three years with a great\nchallenge. Elijah had all of Israel\nto meet on top of Mount Carmel to call for a decision\nfrom the people. Choose who the true God is. After Elijah\u2019s mighty victory, he\nran for his life. We see God had not forgotten him, but He showed himself to\nElijah in a still small voice. He then gave Elijah a helper, Elisha. We will\nlearn more about him in our next lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will continue with King\nAhab\u2019s wicked reign as Benhadad, king of Syria,\nbesieged Israel.\nGod mightily delivered \u2014 twice. However, because King Ahab spared the enemy\nking\u2019s life, God would require King Ahab\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We see more of Queen Jezebel\u2019s wickedness as she kills to acquire Naboth\u2019s vineyard for her husband, King Ahab. When Elijah told King Ahab of God\u2019s displeasure about this event, we will see the compassion God had upon King Ahab when he was sorry for sin. When King Ahab joined with the king of Judah, Jehoshaphat, to enter into battle with Syria, a prophet of God told King Ahab that he would die in battle \u2014 and he did. King Ahab\u2019s son, Ahaziah, became the next king of Israel. He, too, was a wicked king. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
