127 | Contest on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18)

What this episode covers

So picture this: It's roughly 870 BCE in the Northern Kingdom of Israel. King Ahab sits on the throne, and honestly? If you're keeping score of bad kings in Israelite history, this guy takes the prize. The biblical writers are blunt about it—he's done more evil than any king before him. And a huge part of that comes down to his marriage. Ahab married a Phoenician princess named Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of Sidon. This wasn't just a political alliance. Jezebel brought her religion with her. Specifically, the worship of Baal—the Canaanite storm god who supposedly controlled rain, fertility, and agricultural prosperity.
