A siege on Samaria (then the capital of Israel) leaves the people utterly destitute, but Elijah promises relief by this time tomorrow. Part of a series on the prophets Elijah and Elisha.
Some of the exiles (Jews) had married foreign wives, in violation of the Mosaic Law. Ezra's prayer saves them from the wrath of God, as does their penance - to put away (divorce) the wives and children.

Though Christ is deity, he suffered as a human and is able to sympathize with us. Part of a series on the book of Hebrews.
