In 1 Kings 20, we encounter an unexpected turn: King Ahab, though wicked, is shown undeserved mercy by the Lord. Twice, God delivers Israel from Syria's king, Ben-hadad. But Ahab responds with political compromise instead of obedience, revealing the danger of receiving God's grace without repentance. This chapter reminds us that God's sovereign purposes are not limited by the righteousness of leaders—but His mercy always demands a response of faith and obedience. 📖 Key Verse: 1 Kings 20:13b – "Thus says the Lord, 'Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will give it into your hand this day, and you shall know that I am the Lord.'"
