24Then you callH7121 on the nameH8034 of your godH430, and I will callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LordH3068, and 1the GodH430 whoH834 answersH6030 by fireH784, He is GodH430.” And allH3605 the peopleH5971 saidH559, “2That is a goodH2896 ideaH1697.”

25So ElijahH452 saidH559 to the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168, “ChooseH977 oneH259 oxH6499 for yourselves and prepareH6213 it firstH7223 for you are manyH7227, and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of your godH430, but putH7760 noH3808 fireH784 under it.” 26Then they tookH3947 the oxH6499 whichH834 3was givenH5414 them and they preparedH6213 it and calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of BaalH1168 from morningH1242 untilH5704 noonH6672 sayingH559, “O BaalH1168, answerH6030 us.” But thereH369 was 4noH369 voiceH6963 and noH369 oneH369 answeredH6030.
