📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative, Elijah was a prophet sent by God to Israel during the reign of King Ahab, a time of widespread idolatry and a severe drought that tested the people's faith. Elijah had been staying with a widow in Zarephath, where he performed a miracle by raising her son from the dead through God's power after the boy had died. This event served as a powerful confirmation of Elijah's role as a true prophet in an era when false prophets were common.
