In yesterday’s episode we heard how God took Elijah home in a whirlwind and chariot of fire. Elisha asked for a double portion of his spirit, knowing the task at hand required a great measure of God’s strength and presence. The Lord granted his request, and Elisha took on the ministry Elijah had left behind. Today we’ll hear about the rebellion of the Moabites, who had lived under Israel’s protection since the time of David. As they rebel and strike against Israel, we’ll see how Joram, Israel’s new king will join with other nations to fight the Moabites, and in the midst of it, despite his wayward heart, he’ll witness God’s faithfulness.
