    Ahab, King of Israel, goes out to battle even though the prophet of YHWH has clearly stated it will result in his death. As predicted he dies even though he disgueses himself in order to hide from God's judgement. His death fulfills YHWH's word and his son Ahaziah begins to reign in his place. Meanwhile, Jehoshaphat reigns in Judah with a primarily good track record. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/eatscripture/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/eatscripture/support

However, although Jehoshaphat is keen on hearing a word from YHWH about the battles' outcome Ahab is reluctant. The reader is given a view into the "heavenly boardroom" as YHWH's Divine Council helps plan Ahab's ultimate demise. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/eatscripture/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/eatscripture/support

    Battles take place between Ahab and Ben-hadad (the king of Syria). The first battle goes quite well with a wonderful Israelite victory (Ahab did it God's way). The second battle ends with victory on the battlefield but defeat in the heart of Israel's king (Ahab). Everything is followed by a strange prophetic sign which becomes the key for understanding Ahab's spiritual problem. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/eatscripture/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/eatscripture/support
