About this episode

In this Bible Story, we learn about Ahaziah’s short reign as king over Israel. He falls from the top of his upper room and injures himself beyond repair. He sought the healing and guidance of the Philistine gods, but is instead met with Elijah’s rebuke and God’s justice. This story is inspired by 2 Kings 1. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.

Today's Bible verse is 2 Kings 1:15 from the King James Version.

Episode 128: As Elijah traveled with his servant Elisha throughout the land of Israel, they crossed the Jordan river, pausing for a moment Elisha asked his master for a blessing, a double portion of the Spirit that was on Elijah. Though this was not something he personally could give, he said that if his servant should see him as the Lord took him away, then it would happen. As they continued walking along the path the sky opened up and chariots of fire descended to receive Elijah taking him away.
