The history of King David's last days, Solomon's reign, and the prophets Elijah and Elisha are intriguing and exciting parts of the Bible, and the MangaBible team puts a comedic twist on them. More of a modern visual commentary on the text than a faithful adaptation, anachronisms (binoculars in ancient Israel?) and modern slang (is "Don't have a cow" in the Bible?) are used to convey the stories to 21st century audiences to both facilitate understanding of the larger the story and to encourage the reading of the actual scriptures.

In book four of the manga Bible, we see the waning days of King David’s dynasty through the rule of Solomon and the division of Israel from Judah. When the corrupted Solomon dies, the line of Judah’s kings goes from bad to worse. When the evil King Ahab finally confronts the prophet Elijah on Mt. Carmel, Baals’ prophets are destroyed. God takes Elijah to heaven in a flaming chariot. Elisha, his successor, ministers to the good King Joash and Israel and Judah both rediscover their commitments to the Lord.
