1 Kings 18:24-29
24And call ye on the name of your 1gods, and I will call on the name of Jehovah; and the 2god that answers by fire, let him be 3God. And all the people answered and said, The word is good.
25And Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose one bullock for yourselves, and sacrifice it first; for ye are the many; and call on the name of your 4god, but put no fire.
26And they took the bullock which had been given them, and sacrificed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, O Baal, answer us! But there was no voice, and none answered. And they leaped about the altar that had been made.
27And it came to pass at noon that Elijah mocked them and said, Cry aloud; for he is a 5god; for he is meditating, or gone aside, or he is on a journey; perhaps he sleeps, and will awake.
28And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with swords and spears, till the blood gushed out upon them.
29And it came to pass when midday was past, that they prophesied until the [time] of the offering up of the oblation; but there was neither voice, nor any that answered, nor any attention.
