1 Kings 18:15-19

15Then Elijah said, “1As surely as the Lord of armies lives, before whom I stand, I will certainly present myself to him today.” 16So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and informed him; then Ahab went to meet Elijah.

17When Ahab saw Elijah, 2Ahab said to him, “Is this you, the cause of disaster to Israel?” 18He said, “I have not brought disaster to Israel, but you and your father’s house have, because 3you have abandoned the commandments of the Lord and 4you have followed the Baals. 19Now then, send orders and gather to me all Israel at 5Mount Carmel, 6together with 450 prophets of Baal and four hundred prophets of 78the Asherah, who eat at Jezebel’s table.”
