The text includes the ministry of the prophet Elijah and his successor Elisha, showcasing their miraculousdeeds 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.

Furthermore, the text introduces Elisha, who becomes Elijah's disciple, highlighting the transition of prophetic leadership.
