Elijah Selfish Elijah was selfish. And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat ...
However, there is no valid reason to ignore the unnamed women in the interpretation of the biblical narratives. Rather, the roles of the named prophets, Elijah and Elisha are incomplete without consideration of those of the women in 1 Kings 17:8-24; 2 Kings 4:8-37, 5, and 8:1-6. ...

Another example is found in the relationship between Elijah and Elisha. In 2 Kings 2:9-12, as Elijah is about to be taken up to heaven, Elisha requests a double portion of Elijah's spirit. When Elijah is taken, Elisha cries out, "My father, my father, the chariots and horsemen of ...

The Midrash provides more details that help us make sense of the mysterious figure of Jonah. After being resurrected by Elijah, Jonah followed in the line of prophets of Israel, eventually succeeding Elijah and Elisha. After Elijah was assumed into heaven on a fiery chariot, Elisha took on El...
In 1 Kings, it was a Gentile woman to whom Elijah provided the never-failing oil and flour. And in 2 Kings, it was the Gentile Naaman whom Elisha healed of leprosy. This was too much. Why couldn’t Jesus speak promises for the hometown? The anger of the crowd is so great that ...

Additionally, both Elijah (1 Kings 17:17-22) and Elisha (2 Kings 4:32-35; 13:20-21) miraculously raise dead bodies. Finally, some see Jonah’s release from the large fish to be a type of a resurrection to which Jesus also refers (Jonah 2:6). [3] C. Marvin Pate, 40 Questions...
