1 Kings 18:24-26

24Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord, and 1the God who answers by fire, He is God.” And all the people said, “2That is a good idea.”

25So Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose one ox for yourselves and prepare it first for you are many, and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it.” 26Then they took the ox which 3was given them and they prepared it and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon saying, “O Baal, answer us.” But there was 4no voice and no one answered. And they 5leaped about the altar which 6they made.
