1 Kings 18:22-25

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.

25And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168, ChooseH977 you oneH259 bullock for yourselves, and dress it firstH7223; for ye are manyH7227; and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of your godH430, but putH7760 no fireH784 under.
