Eliyahu HaNavi Takes A Sharp Turn

Eliyahu killed the Nevi’ei HaBa’al and said his famous words to Hashem, “Kano Kineisi”, I have taken Hashem’s revenge from Bnei Yisroel, who has left your covenant. The Medrash says that afterwards he lost his Nevuah and appointed Elisha in his place. After such heroism is this his reward? The Zohar explains, that even so, since he spoke negatively about Bnei Yisroel this was the end result.

The Zohar further says that Eliyahu did not move from his spot until he swore before Hashem that he will always search for Z’chusim in Klal Yisroel and bring them before Hashem. Furthermore he will not budge until Hashem records these Zechusim in writing. (Shaar HaTvuna 7).

“Zachor Eis Asher Asa Hashem L’Miriam BaDerech B’Tzaischem MiMitzrayim”

The Ramban and other Rishonim count, among the Mitzvos Aseh Min HaTorah, the mitzva of remembering and saying with your mouth each day what Hashem did to Miriam when she spoke about her brother Moshe. The Chofetz Chaim in Shaar Tvunah Perek 12 says that being Mikayem this mitzva can save you from the aveira of Lashon Hara. More than just saying the pasuk, says the Chofetz Chaim, one must think about the incident in order for it to have its intended effect.
