I was a prophet of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, active during the reign of Joram, Jehu, Jehoahaz, and Jehoash. Children mocked me because I was bald.

Who am I?

 

[Knotical]

Elijah?

 

[Agape]

Elijah?

Nope, try again. I give you two more clues.

I am not Elijah but this prophet actually anointed me to succeed him as prophet, and even put his mantel on my shoulders.

 

[Knotical]

I tend to get these two guys confused, bit if it is not Elijah, then it must be Elisha.

Correct! ;)
Elisha was mocked because he was bald (2 Kings 2:23) and he received Elijah's mantel (1 Kings 19:19)

#9

My name is mentioned only by Luke. I have issued an order which fulfilled a biblical prophecy made 600 years before I was born. The Roman Senate decided that I should have a month named after me just like my grand-uncle who adopted me.

Who am I?

Note: the clue I am showing in green is not found in the Bible but can help resolve the riddle.
