Syria’s First Campaign Against Israel

The work of God through Elijah is still fresh in the events of Israel. Now God moves this great army against King Ahab and the Northern Kingdom. The purpose is to get Ahab to realize that Jehovah is God! We would think that would have been settled by the fire from heaven but not so. So, God continues his pursuit of Ahab to humble himself to a right relationship with Him.
