Elah was the fourth king of the northern ten-tribe kingdom of Israel. He came to the throne in about 952 B.C.E. on the death of his father Baasha and ruled in Tirzah for parts of two years. (1 Kings 16:8) While Elah was drunk, Zimri, the chief over half the chariots, put him to death to get the kingship for himself. (1 Kings 16:8-11)
