( -circa 800 BC)
Born in Abel-Meholah (located in biblical Israel)
Old Testament prophet appearing in the Books of Kings
Successor to the prophet Elijah
Venerated by Catholics, Lutherans and some Orthodox churches
Also recognized as a prophet by Islam

He asked for twice the miracle working power of Elijah.
When 42 children called him 'baldy,' he sicced two female bears on them.
He also asked God to blind his enemies.
These stories embarrass modern liberal believers.

He was Israel’s official prophet for 60 years.
He used salt to restore Jericho's undrinkable water and infertile soil.
He saved many from drought and famine.
The 42 children may have actually been a gang of thuggish young men.
He could raise the dead (even after he himself had passed on).
