    About this ebook

    A short book, bringing to life the events surrounding Elijah's destruction of the prophets of Baal. If you are familiar with Bible stories and events, this will delight and entertain you. Familiar events are given a slightly different slant as you read how people really were. Well researched, the basic story is still fully in sync with the original Bible text.
    Although a lot of the details are imaginary, the author has been careful not to change the timing, or the actual events as originally recorded.

      Acknowledgements

      My sincere thanks to my wife, for her unending love and patience. She has endured more travel and life events than could be expected, yet she remains strong and true.

      She is also a notable artist, and graciously allows me to use her images for the covers of my books.

      Also many thanks to Professor and Pastor David Munk, who proof read the manuscript, and was available for many questions and discussions.

      Prologue

      This book, as well as the Joseph book, was the result of mild frustration with the lack of human detail in most of the stories in the Bible. The big events are there, but not the small things that humans find interesting.

      The major events, time line, distances and people are all biblically correct. The details are the result of much research into the lives of people in the time of the Pharoahs, as well as many ideas and descriptions of events found only in the writings of Josephus (a Roman historian), the Apochrypha, the Lost Books of the Bible, and the books of Jasher.

      Chapter 1

      Ahab el Omri gloomily surveyed the dust and heat that were obvious through the entrance to his large and comfortable house. Barely noticing the sweating slave who wielded the fan which kept him cool, Ahab thought of the events which led up to his present situation. The drought,
