    My wife recently told me that the reason we are naming our son with the Middle name Elijah is that once I told her that the story of Elijah is one of my favorite stories in the Old Testament. So what are your favorite OT person.

    I personally love David. As a kid, I used to watch an animated vhs series (I can’t remember the name of it) that had all the Bible stories in it. I would watch the David vs Goliath tape over and over again.

    Elisha. I read the entirety of the Elisha saga at least once a year. I also enjoy the book of Tobit a lot.

    Jonah. So human and flawed yet used of God.
