What happens when it looks like evil has won and forgotten wrongs have disappeared?

1 Kings 22, the final chapter of the Book of 1 Kings, reveals that God’s justice may take time, but His word never fails. As Ahab’s story comes to its devastating conclusion, we also meet Yehoshafat, a king remembered for staying on the right path.

Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel complete the Book of 1 Kings and explore the powerful lessons woven throughout its final chapter. Ahab’s death fulfills Elijah’s prophecy with remarkable precision, while Yehoshafat offers a striking contrast, a king who was not perfect, but who remained committed to walking in the ways of his father. The chapter closes with Achazyahu repeating the sins of his parents, raising a timeless question: Is seeing the truth enough to actually change us?

In this chapter:

-Ahab’s death and the fulfillment of Elijah’s prophecy

-The certainty and precision of God’s justice

-Yehoshafat and the power of steady faithfulness

-Why faithfulness does not require perfection

-Achazyahu sees the consequences of his father’s choices—and repeats them

-The major themes and lessons of the entire Book of 1 Kings

- The enduring covenant with the House of David and its significance for Israel

What happens when the United Nations sends an official warning letter directly to The Israel Guys? And why is Israel’s presence in Judea and Samaria at the center of the controversy?

Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel, along with Luke Hilton and Josh Waller, sit down for a wide-ranging discussion about the latest developments surrounding Israel, the United Nations, and the growing international pressure surrounding Judea and Samaria. They discuss the official letter The Israel Guys received from the UN Human Rights Office regarding its database of businesses and organizations connected to Israeli settlements, the UN General Assembly and world leaders’ statements about Israel, recent terrorism and anti-Israel narratives, and what all of this means for those standing with Israel from the heart of Judea.

In this episode:

-The official UN letter sent to The Israel Guys

-The UN database concerning businesses connected to Israeli settlements

-Why Judea and Samaria are at the center of international pressure

-The latest UN General Assembly discussions surrounding Israel

-Netanyahu, world leaders, and the competing narratives at the UN

-The ongoing debate over “settler violence” and terrorism

-The biblical and historical significance of Judea and Samaria

-Israel, the Golan Heights, and the changing international conversation

-Why The Israel Guys are continuing to speak about Israel from the land itself

-The future of The Israel Guys and their new studio in Judea

The battle over Israel is not taking place only on the ground. It is also being fought through international institutions, media narratives, and the stories the world chooses to believe. From the hills of Judea, The Israel Guys continue to document what is happening, challenge anti-Israel narratives, and connect people around the world with the land and people of Israel.

What happens when a king surrounds himself with people who tell him exactly what he wants to hear?

In 1 Kings 22, King Ahab faces a choice between comfortable lies and the uncomfortable truth of God’s word and his decision sets the course for his final battle.

In this chapter:

Jeremy Gimpel and Ari Abramowitz explore the opening of 1 Kings Chapter 22, the final chapter of the Book of 1 Kings.

Ahab and Yehoshafat prepare for war against Aram at Ramot-Gilead.

Yehoshafat insists that they “inquire… of the word of the LORD” before going into battle.

Ahab’s 400 prophets unanimously predict victory—but Yehoshafat senses that something is wrong.

Ahab reveals his hatred for Michayahu, the one prophet who refuses to simply tell him what he wants to hear.

Michayahu delivers a difficult prophecy: Israel will be scattered and Ahab will fall.

Ahab attempts to outsmart the prophecy by disguising himself in battle.

A seemingly random arrow finds the one vulnerable gap in Ahab’s armor.

The episode asks a question that reaches far beyond Ahab: Do we really want the truth, or do we simply want to be told that we're right?

This powerful chapter of 1 Kings 22 explores spiritual discernment, truth, prophecy, pride, divine providence, and the danger of surrounding ourselves with voices that only affirm what we already believe.

What would you do if the king of Israel asked you to give up your family’s inheritance and you knew it was never truly yours to sell?

In 1 Kings 21, we meet Naboth, a man who refuses King Ahab’s offer to purchase his vineyard because it is the inheritance of his fathers. What follows is a shocking story of power, corruption, murder disguised as justice, and Elijah’s confrontation with Ahab. But the chapter takes an unexpected turn when Ahab humbles himself before Hashem — revealing a profound lesson about teshuva and the power of a contrite heart.

In this chapter, learn:

-Naboth’s vineyard and the meaning of nachalat avotai — the inheritance of my fathers

-Why Ahab’s request reveals that the king of Israel stands under Torah, not above it

-How Jezebel turns Naboth’s murder into a seemingly legitimate act of justice

-Elijah’s confrontation with Ahab: “Have you murdered, and also taken possession?”

-Ahab’s unexpected humility and what it teaches us about teshuva, repentance, and returning to Hashem

In this special conversation from Judea, Ari and Jeremy reflect on the powerful journey from Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur and into Sukkot. They explore what it means to move from judgment to forgiveness, from the awe of standing before the King to the intimacy of resting in the shade of our Father.

The conversation weaves together personal stories from Yom Kippur, the spiritual atmosphere in Israel, the prophetic vision of Sukkot as a celebration for all nations, and the deeper meaning of the sukkah as a place of faith and trust. As Israel walks through a difficult season, Ari and Jeremy ask what it means to choose joy, trust Hashem, and believe that one day the whole world will recognize that Hashem is one and His name is one.

God gives Israel an impossible victory, but Ahab’s decision at the moment of triumph reveals whether he has truly understood the God who delivered him.

In 1 Kings 20, the kingdom of Israel faces an enormous Aramean army led by Ben-Hadad, yet God delivers Israel not once, but twice. The chapter reveals why God gives victory, challenges the pagan idea that Israel’s God is merely a “God of the hills,” and ends with Ahab making a devastating choice: he spares the very enemy God had commanded him to destroy. The lesson is powerful—God’s victories are not merely meant to make us feel strong; they are meant to help us know Him and trust His ways.

In this chapter of Prophets of Israel Daily:

An impossible enemy: Ben-Hadad and a coalition of 32 kings surround Samaria, creating an overwhelming military threat to Israel.

Victory for a purpose: God promises to deliver the Aramean army so Israel will know that He is the LORD—not because Ahab has earned it, but so that God's hand will be revealed.

The God of the hills and valleys: After losing the first battle, the Arameans assume Israel's God is only powerful in the mountains. God answers that claim by giving Israel victory on the plain.

Ahab's fatal compromise: After two miraculous victories, Ahab spares Ben-Hadad and makes a treaty with him instead of carrying out the command he had received.

The danger of partial obedience: Ahab learns that receiving God's help is not the same as faithfully following God's purposes. The chapter ends with him returning to Samaria angry and sullen.

Israeli born Shai Davidai, former professor at Columbia University, has written a scathing indictment of antisemitism within North American higher education. In this compelling interview, he shares with Eve Harow his October 7th’s brutal awakening and subsequent deep dive into documenting the development of this major threat to free society. One of the most prominent and influential voices calling out campus support for terrorism and rising antisemitism, Shai will not shy away, in any forum, from exposing the radical forces shaping universities and beyond.

If you refuse to be intimidated by the ideological extremism attacking the West then read this book to understand how we got here, and perhaps how we can stop the disaster before it’s too late.

What if the greatest revelation Elijah received was not the fire from heaven, but the silence that came afterward?

In 1 Kings 19, Elijah goes from the spectacular victory on Mount Carmel to one of the darkest moments of his life. Jezebel threatens him, Elijah flees into the wilderness, and under a desert broom bush he asks Hashem to take his life. But instead of rebuke, Heaven gives him food, rest, and time. Elijah then journeys forty days and forty nights to Horeb, where Hashem reveals Himself through kol demamah dakah — a still, small voice. The chapter also reveals the hidden seven thousand faithful Israelites and introduces Elisha, the man who will inherit Elijah’s mantle.

In this chapter:

-Elijah after Mount Carmel: Why does the prophet who fearlessly confronted 450 prophets of Baal suddenly flee for his life?

-“The journey is too great for you”: Elijah receives food, rest, and compassion before receiving any explanation or correction.

-The still, small voice: At Horeb, wind, earthquake, and fire pass before -Elijah encounters kol demamah dakah—a profound lesson about hearing Hashem beyond the miraculous spectacle.

-The seven thousand: Elijah believes he is completely alone, but Hashem reveals that thousands of Israelites have remained faithful even though their names are never recorded.

-Elisha and the mantle: Elijah finds his successor plowing a field, and ---Elisha burns his plow and oxen before following the prophet—leaving his old life completely behind.

What do you do when you’ve prayed, looked for the answer, and the sky still looks completely empty?

In Part 2 of 1 Kings Chapter 18, Elijah faces the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, and the difference between false worship and genuine faith could not be clearer. The prophets of Baal scream and perform in desperation, but Elijah simply calls out, “Aneni Hashem, aneni” — “Answer me, Hashem, answer me” — and fire falls from heaven.

Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore the powerful meaning behind the cry “Hashem Hu HaElohim,” its connection to the closing moments of Yom Kippur, and the difference between shouting to manufacture God's presence and crying out because we recognize that He is already there. We also follow Elijah as he prays for rain and sends his servant to look toward the sea seven times—until finally, a tiny cloud appears and the three-year drought comes to an end.

In this chapter:

• Elijah and the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel

• The theology hidden inside Elijah's mockery of Baal

• The fire that falls from heaven

• “Hashem Hu HaElohim” and its connection to Yom Kippur

• Why Jewish prayer can move from silence to a cry from the soul

• Elijah's seven attempts to see the coming rain

• The tiny cloud and the arrival of redemption

• What Mount Carmel teaches us about faith, persistence, and Israel today

What if faithfulness doesn't always look like standing on a mountain and confronting a king and sometimes looks like quietly doing what is right when nobody is watching?

In 1 Kings Chapter 18, we meet two very different heroes of faith. Ovadyah serves inside the corrupt palace of King Ahab, quietly risking his life to hide and feed 100 prophets of God, while Elijah stands publicly before the king and courageously speaks the truth. Together, they show us that faithfulness doesn't always look the same sometimes we are called to be the hidden hero, quietly protecting what is holy and doing good where no one sees, and sometimes we are called to be the public hero, naming the truth and refusing to accept blame for the trouble that truth exposes.

This chapter explores why we need both kinds of courage and how Ovadyah's and Elijah's examples speak to our own lives.

In this chapter learn:

• Ovadyah — the hidden hero inside a corrupt world

• Staying faithful in a hostile environment

• Quiet courage and doing good when nobody sees

• Elijah — the public hero who speaks truth to power

• The confrontation between Elijah and King Ahab

• Refusing to accept blame for exposing the real problem

• Two models of faith and two ways of serving Hashem

• Why we may be called to be both Ovadyah and Elijah
