Three Words From God

God came to Ahab through a prophet to give him a word of promise, a word of caution and a word of assurance.
In the last 3 chapters of 1 Kings, the author highlighted some incidents in Ahab’s reign.
• It shows the failures of King Ahab. He failed, not because God has given up on him; Ahab has chosen to ignore God.
• We see Ahab’s repeated rejection of God’s Word, given through the prophets. It is not that God did not speak; he chose to ignore His Word.
We are going to look at an incident in 1 Kings 20. It is a battle with the King of Aram (Syria), Ben-Hadad. We do not know when exactly this happened.
