1 Kings 18:19-24

19NowH6258 thereforeH6258 sendH7971, and gatherH6908 to me all IsraelH3478 unto mount CarmelH3760, and the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168 fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, and the prophetsH5030 of the AsherahH842 fourH702 hundredH3967, that eatH398 at Jezebel’s tableH7979.

20So AhabH256 sentH7971 unto all the children of IsraelH3478, and gatheredH6908 the prophetsH5030 togetherH6908 unto mount CarmelH3760. 21And ElijahH452 came near unto all the peopleH5971, and saidH559, How long go ye limping between the twoH8147 sides? if Jehovah be GodH430, follow him; but if BaalH1168, then follow him. And the peopleH5971 answered him not a wordH1697. 22Then saidH559 ElijahH452 unto the peopleH5971, I, even I onlyH905, am leftH3498 a prophetH5030 of Jehovah; but Baal’s prophetsH5030 are fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 menH376. 23Let them therefore giveH5414 us twoH8147 bullocks; and let them chooseH977 oneH259 bullock for themselves, and cutH5408 it in pieces, and lay it on the woodH6086, and putH5414 no fireH784 under; and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on the woodH6086, and putH5414 no fireH784 under. 24And callH7121 ye on the nameH8034 of your godH430, and I will callH7121 on the nameH8034 of Jehovah; and the GodH430 that answereth by fireH784, let him beH1961 GodH430. And all the peopleH5971 answered and saidH559, It is well spoken.
