Summary "The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 12: 4 Kings" is a significant religious text that is a part of the Old Testament, likely written in the early centuries of the Common Era. This book follows the historical narrative of the kings of Israel and Judah, detailing their reigns, prophetic interactions, and the moral lessons drawn from their actions. The text includes the ministry of the prophet Elijah and his successor Elisha, showcasing their miraculous deeds and their relationships with key figures of the time. The opening of this biblical book begins with a pivotal event in which King Ochozias of Israel, after seeking counsel from the god Beelzebub rather than from the God of Israel, is informed by the prophet Elijah of his imminent death. As the narrative unfolds, it emphasizes Elijah's prophetic authority through a series of divine encounters, including the dramatic calling down of fire from heaven upon captains of the king's army. Furthermore, the text introduces Elisha, who becomes Elijah's disciple, highlighting the transition of prophetic leadership. The beginning of "4 Kings" sets a tone of divine judgment and the perils of turning away from true worship, establishing themes that resonate throughout the narrative.
