The wicked son of the wicked King Ahab, is now king and has injured himself in a fall. Instead of seeking the God of Israel through a real prophet of God, he sends messengers to inquire about his fate form fake prophets of a non-existent God. That is when Yahweh sends the great prophet Elijah to intercept those emissaries with a message of His own. Troops are sent to arrest Elijah but he called for fire from heaven.
