His daughter Jezebel had married King Ahab -1 Kings 16-31-32-.-Together they persecuted the followers of Yahweh- and made the worship of Baal the state religion of Israel -1 Kings 18-1-14-. --A poor widow hears the word of the LORD, and she trusts and obeys -1 Kings 17-13-16-.--In the course of time, the widow's son dies, and reflecting a common idea of fate -Acts 28-3-6-, connecting sin and misfortune -John 9-1-3-, she believes it is due to her sin and is angry with Elijah -1 Kings 17-18-.--But she soon witnesses a profound miracle, when the LORD uses Elijah to raise her son from the dead -1 Kings 17-22-24-.

Here we examine how God sent Elijah into the very heartland of Baal worship: Zarephath belonged to Sidon (1 Kings 17:7-11), and Ethbaal was the king of Sidon. His daughter Jezebel had married King Ahab (1 Kings 16:31-32). Together they persecuted the followers of Yahweh( and made the worship of Baal the state religion of Israel (1 Kings 18:1-14).
