1 Kings 18:17-20
17When Ahab saw Elijah, 1Ahab 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 2you have abandoned the commandments of the Lord and 3you have followed the Baals. 19Now then, send orders and gather to me all Israel at 4Mount Carmel, 5together with 450 prophets of Baal and four hundred prophets of 67the Asherah, who eat at Jezebel’s table.”
20So Ahab sent orders among all the sons of Israel and brought the prophets together at Mount Carmel.
