1 Kings 18:22-25

22Then ElijahH452 saidH559 toH413 the peopleH5971, “IH589 am the onlyH905 remainingH3498 prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068, but BaalH1168 has fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 prophetsH5030H376. 23GetH5414 twoH8147 bullsH6499 for us. Let the prophets of Baal chooseH977 oneH259 bullH6499 for themselves, cut it into piecesH5408, and placeH7760 it onH5921 the woodH6086 but notH3808 lightH7760 the fireH784. And IH589 will prepareH6213 the otherH259 bullH6499 and placeH5414 it onH5921 the woodH6086 but notH3808 lightH7760 the fireH784. 24Then you may callH7121 on the nameH8034 of your godH430, and IH589 will callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068. The GodH430 whoH834 answersH6030 by fireH784, HeH1931 is GodH430.”

And allH3605 the peopleH5971 answeredH559H6030, “What you sayH1697 is goodH2896.”

25Then ElijahH452 saidH559 to the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168, “SinceH3588 youH859 are so numerousH7227, chooseH977 for yourselves oneH259 bullH6499 and prepareH6213 it firstH7223. Then callH7121 on the nameH8034 of your godH430, but do notH3808 lightH7760 the fireH784.”
