Seson 11 begins.
When a king of Israel decides to consult a pagan deity to see whether he will recover from an accident, the Jewish prophet Elijah steps in with dramatic effect.
Elijah then departs the earth in spectacular fashion leaving his protégé, Elisha to steer Israel back towards some form of godliness.
It's an uphill battle. Israel's kings seem genetically conditioned to worship pagan gods, but thanks to Elisha's spectaculafr intervention, one particular battle does go Israel's way.
