1 Kings 18:26-27

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 1god; for he is meditating, or gone aside, or he is on a journey; perhaps he sleeps, and will awake.
