According to the bible, Elijah died during the reign of Jehoshaphat. Jehoram succeeded Jehoshaphat to the throne. In fact according to the bible Elijah did not die. He was "translated" into heaven in a "chariot of fire". He had however, according to the bible, depart from this during the reign of Jehoshaphat. (See 2 Kings 1 & 2)
However, 2 Chronicles 21 says that Elijah wrote a letter to Jehoram after he succeeded his father Jehoshaphat as king of Judah. In the letter he lamented the fact that; "Jehoram did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh"
Now, how can a dead man write letters?
