King Ahab, son of Omri, King of Israel and Baal worshiper, provoked God. He allowed the foundations of Jericho to be rebuilt with human life. Ahab was a religious man but he was converted by Jezebel. Jezebel misled Ahab to do so many things Ahab was not suppose to do, going against the will of God.
Jezebel on the other hand was from the family of idol worshipers, a zealous participant in the worship of Baal. She allowed the temple of Ball to operate in Israel and mislead many children of Israel into sin of adultery and idolatry. She converted Ahab and instigated Ahab to kill Naboth.
Elijah was the greatest prophet in the Old testament. He survived many assassination attempts. He was a man of prayer and the word. Some of the exploits of Elijah include ceasing the rains for years, the miracle for a woman of Zarephath, resurrection of a widow's son, calling of fire from heaven among others. He exposed Baal as powerless and does not control the rains. This can let you lose your identity and your focus.
