Best Answer

Elijah was a prophet in Israel ~870-850 B.C.E under the reigns of King Omri (ca. 876-869) and Ahab (ca. 869-850).

There was no prophet immediately before Elijah at least none described in the Old Testament. An earlier prophet is Jehu son of Hanan (ca. 900 B.C.E) briefly mentioned in 1 Kings 16:7. Prior to that the prophets included Aaron, Samuel, and Nathan
