Elijah (Hebrew: אֵלִיָּהוּ, Modern: Eliyahu, Tiberian: ʾĒlīyāhū; Arabic: إلياس, Ilyās or إlijah, Ilyā) is a prominent prophet in Abrahamic religions, primarily in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The name Elijah is derived from the Hebrew name Eliyahu, which means "My God is Yahweh" or "Yahweh is my God." In the Hebrew Bible, Elijah is a prophet of God who is said to have performed many miracles, such as raising the dead, parting the waters, and calling down fire from heaven. He is also known for his confrontation with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel and his dramatic departure from this world in a whirlwind and chariot of fire. In Christianity, Elijah is considered a forerunner of Jesus Christ, and his return is prophesied in the New Testament. In Islam, Elijah is revered as a prophet and is mentioned in the Quran as a righteous man who was taken up to heaven alive. The figure of Elijah has been a significant influence in religious thought and has inspired numerous works of art, literature, and music throughout history.

Ahab (Hebrew: אָחָב, Modern: Aháv, Tiberian: ʼĀḥāḇ) was a king of Israel who reigned from 874 to 853 BCE according to the Hebrew Bible. The name Ahab is derived from the Hebrew root א-ח-ב (ʼ-ḥ-b), which means "father's brother" or "uncle". In the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible, Ahab is described as having "sold himself to do evil in the eyes of the Lord" (1 Kings 21:25), indicating his wickedness and idolatry. Ahab is known for his marriage to Jezebel, a Phoenician princess, who promoted the worship of the god Baal in Israel. This period is marked by significant religious and political conflicts, as Ahab's reign is characterized by his opposition to the prophets of Yahweh, particularly Elijah. The story of Ahab and Jezebel is a prominent narrative in the Books of Kings, illustrating the consequences of idolatry and the power of prophetic intervention. In Islamic tradition, Ahab is also mentioned, often referred to as Achab in Arabic (عَخَاب), and is similarly depicted as a wicked ruler.
