Not that I'm defending him, but you can see why Ahab wasn't that keen on Elijah, can't you?

i dont understand why Ahab would not punish elijah like he did to Naboth and i am not defending him either

God extended His mercy, maybe testing Ahab's repentance.
28 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite: 29 “Have you noticed how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled himself, I will not bring this disaster in his day, but I will bring it on his house in the days of his son.”

What do you make of this chapter? What do you think of my summary? How would you summarise it?

I summarised all 1,189 chapters of the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day for over three years.

These are the summaries of the book of 1 Kings.

They are written to help you understand and remember what's going on in the chapter, but they're no substitute for reading the Bible for yourself.
