      Introduction

      T he following stories really happened. They are true accounts that have been written and passed down over thousands of years for all the children of the world to read. The names in these writings are real names and have not been changed to protect the innocent or the guilty.

      These stories include significant details taken directly from the Holy Bible. Conjecture of what might have happened or any other possibilities or personal opinions have not been added; nor are make-believe people, places, or circumstances inserted. The exact information presented in the Scripture alone always makes for an exciting adventure.

      If you are preparing a lesson to teach to a child or a group of children, simply and slowly read these tales aloud with emotion, interest, and the excitement that they contain; children appreciate the art of storytelling and will be encouraged to give their attention, as well as read along.

      At the end of each chapter you will find a few simple questions and answers for review, as well as an exercise or activity that complements the story and emphasizes the lesson to be learned. To implement these exercises or activities, you will not need to make expensive purchases or spend a lot of valuable time gathering excessive materials. What you will need is a passion for the truth and the use of your God-given imagination.

      Part One

      An Evil King and His Wicked Wife

      O nce upon a time, thousands of years ago, the people of the Hebrew nation could not get along, and so they were divided into two kingdoms. Ten tribes of the people were known as the nation of Israel in the north. The other two tribes became the House of Judah in the south. King Asa, a good and wise leader, ruled the House of Judah in the land of the south. His great-great-grandfather, King David, had become very famous. When King David was yet a boy, he had slain the renowned Philistine, named Goliath, by swinging a small, smooth stone from a slingshot and striking the giant in the center of his forehead. Asa, who was David’s great-great-grandson, loved and worshipped the one true God, just like King David had loved God with all his heart.

      This story, however, takes place in the other land of the north—the land of Israel. There lived a wicked and evil king whose name was Ahab. His father Omri, his grandfather Tibni, and all his great-grandfathers were wicked and evil as well. They had viciously killed many, many people and committed countless other horrendous deeds against the residents of their kingdom. Most horribly, they refused to worship and love the one true God. Instead, they bowed down and served idol gods that men had built with their own hands.

      Of all the kings in Ahab’s family, Ahab was the worst of the worst. No doubt, he had first learned how to be evil by watching his cruel father and grandfathers, and once he became king, he was determined to reign with a more vicious control than any of the kings before him.

      And yet the people of Israel did not realize the full wickedness that he was capable of until he decided to marry the spiteful, yes, the abominable princess of the Sidonians—none other than the corrupt and despicable Princess Jezebel.

      Jezebel cared for no one but herself and showed absolutely no interest in the welfare or desires of the people of Ahab’s kingdom. She especially hated any man, woman, or child who would not bow down and worship her evil idol gods—the statues called Baal and Asherah. These gods were
